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.

Oh god, here we go with oldhvymec’s verbal vomitus and rhetorical mania again. He loves to entertain himself with prose only decipherable to himself. Regards

Yep, aside from real science and the principals of physics, cable burn in is a thing just like saturation is a thing. Auditory hallucinations can be obtained for the price of a coat hanger.

Please...

It would improve the standard of debate on this forum if people read the questions and replied to them with RELEVANT comment. The OP says he hears a difference and the old silly brigade comes out yet again saying "No you didn't.  Cables don't make  a difference'" The clue is in the question, but  those who are self obsessed hi-jack and foister their ignorance on to others

“Self obsessed” - look in the mirror. Inane posts with zero science behind their premises invite just a touch of fact-based common sense
