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.

There is no sound difference from power cords other than what you imagine you are hearing. Signal cords yes due to capacitance. Power conditioners help isolate noise but most pwer supplies do that anyway.

Invest your money on better amps or speakers or DACs. Buy a good quality 12 AWG IEC power cord from Amazon for $12.
