Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?


I recently bought a new power cord but there isn’t much difference in sound quality between this new cord and the previous Wireworld Elektra 7 which it replaces. The cords are used on the DAC.

Any ideas if the cord needs to burn in to open up and sound better? It currently has about 5 hours on it and I think I prefer the sound quality of the previous cord which costs 10 times cheaper.

Any thoughts appreciated.

@audio2design-      "Not sure who you think you are fooling with this?"      "....with some hard numbers what your claimed dielectric impacts would be on a power cord....."       Are you actually that obtuse?       I’ve, "claimed" nothing (hence: nothing to prove).       I’ve only pointed out that POSSIBILITIES exist, regarding those scientifically established (measurable and repeatable) changes that dielectrics go through, when an electric field is introduced.      Obviously; you’ve a serious problem with comprehension.     Then again: it’s probably that fevered, religious fervor, that has has your uneducated brain in turmoil.
@audio2design- I’m absolutely certain (experientially); you’re absolutely wrong.        Yours is simply another uninformed, Naysayer Doctrine adherent’s assumption.        Now: deny the possibilities, offered by the facts presented.
Anyone, genuinely interested in some of the parameters/considerations, possibly governing the faithful propagation of our signals/voltages, as regards cabling and components, should study the following.      Having no formal (or other, it seems) education in Physics; the typical Naysayer Doctrine adherents, will undoubtedly offer their ubiquitous, Newtonian (1800’s Electrical Theory), ceremonial whines, for your Communion and salvation.               It’s common knowledge, to anyone with a background in the Physics of dielectrics, that the better a dielectric (ie: Teflon, polypropylene, etc), the longer it takes to polarize, with smaller signals/voltages.       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric      and: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity#:~:text=Speed%20of%20electromagnetic%20waves%20in...                  Even the Wiki-scientists are more knowledgeable, regarding modern Electrical Theory (not to mention QED), than the Naysayers.
