Hi @markush
I'll stay well away from 'the best' part of the discussion, but @sam1000 says 24 hours. He is being overly generous and patient. My power cable trials and swaps have shown the change immediately (if it exists). Moving from the AQ that came with the Pro upgraded amp to the AQ NRG Z3, the improvement was clear and immediate, so I did not bother swapping back to the original, just to test or check. The same thing happened when I trialed cables form NRG Custom Cables, and even when I added Nordost Purple Flare cables to my Sonos boxes. I did not hear any change over time, but for some cables, I took a while to decide if I liked the sound. But I'd say you should hear a difference in the first minute.
