Also, for calibrating the frequency response of the preamp / soundcard combo, in the loop-back configuration, I think I will need a second of these Y cables, to connect the stereo
Yeah, that's right. To include the preamp in the loopback cabling during the soundcard calibration, you would need the soundcards line-out and line-in split-out to use either its right or left channel. You would insert the preamp in that loop for the calibration using the preamps 1/4" line-in (with a mono TS plug) and the preamps 1/4" line-out (with a mono TS plug).

what cables people use to connect the BFD to their systems
Everyone uses something different because there are so many situations. The BFD allows for a lot of different balanced/unbalanced connections, so it's whatever works the best in your situation.

Some people have a problem with the RCA to 1/4" TS adapter and order RCA to 1/4" TS cables if their system is all unbalanced. That's probably the best way to go. If you have any balanced connections, I like the XLR connection better.
