Is it true that a digital cable has to acclimate to your system?

Just bought a Kimber Orchid AES/EBU cable and it doesn't sound good.  The seller advised me that a certain synergy won't happen until the cable gets used to the other components in your system.  
 
I am using a Bel Canto CD-2 for a transport and a Bryston BDA-2 for a dac.  The Audioquest Cinammon AES/EBU cable I have sounds much better.

thanks for any wisdom on this.
Ted.

Read my article "Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn In" at Dagogo.com 
I did not specifically compare digital cables but the evidence is not in favor of its changing.  

My recommendation is to never consider burn in, or break in regarding any Audiophile products. It's a great way to buy a mediocre product.
