It seemed OK to start with, sounded 'nice' for a bit,then it seemed to deteriorate a bit - the soundstage collapsed for instance and it just sounded boring. I was really considering sending it back. A few days later, probably after 8 days of constant running it finally opened out soundstage and top-end frequency wise. It's sounding really good now, and consistent.
This is the most difficult cable run-in I've experienced, maybe with the exception of speaker cables (oh and Chord Sarum analogue interconnects were a pain in the ass too). The filter electronics probably has a bit of a bearing this.
Your run-in experience with TotalDac USB cable is encouraging me to give iFi Mercury USB a second chance as I only gave it a three day chance and maybe that was not enough to fully break it in.
