Best interconnect burn-in method


I think I know the answer to this, but I just wanted to double check with everyone.  I am in the process of burning in an XLR interconnect.  The interconnect is between the DAC and the integrated amp.  I am using a laptop as the source, and it is connecting via USB cable to the DAC.  Is it true that I am still burning in the XLR IC if I leave the integrated amp turned off while playing music continuously on my laptop with the DAC turned on?  Thank you for your input.

Just remember that burn in time  has two components. 1- You can get used to anything after a few months, and you will forget what sounded better. 2- The three month burn in time for components and wiring exists solely to get past the credit card refund window. I just ruined a great preamp. I had another model from the same company. My disappointment was excruciating. Now, three months later, I can't imagine why I thought there was such a big difference. Today, I am hooking up the good channel of the better one to power my sub amps. I can' t wait. (For years, I have been using identicle amps and preamps for mains and subs.) 
"Burn in" defies chemistry and physics.  But it does eat into the return for full refund period.
