Yup. And there's no way around it. And the 7 days is absolute minimum.Otherwise, it's no different than A/B comparing 2 brand new out-of-the-box components. Actually it's worse because when it comes to mechanical settling in, often times there's little to no benefit whatsoever. At least with brand new components you still are able to achieve 60 - 70% or so of the component's raw potential.
Not so with mechanical objects. I put a component into my shelf, there are little to no gains for the first 5 - 7 days. Then the magic kicks in and usually takes up to 15 days to complete with multiple very distinct and audible gains occurring daily during that time.
If it's any consulation to you, my latest amps and my new extreme install method took near 5 months to fully settle in with the first improvement occurring on day 7. You don't want to know how long it takes my rack to fully settle.
You don't wait, then any conclusion is little more than a charade and you're not helping yourself, the mfg'er (if they even are aware about this), nor the community.

... as hardly anyone can remember something in that detail and it perhaps even necessitates not listening to other music in between.
So in fact a dealer's cables which have been burned in (albeit in a different system) might be the best bet.
