Berkeley Alpha DAC: cabling and breaking-in time


Hello all,
I'm a new BADA DAC owner and my questions to experienced users and owners are about to obtain the best as possible with redbook 16/44 files from this great DAC.
How much has to be considered as breaking-in time for the Berkeley?
Which is the configuration that in your opinion and experience is the best in cabling (power,digital and signal) and source/transport? My first impression the bass frequencies, especially the lowest ones, are not so impressive as I hope.

For complete information, I'm inserting the DAC into this system:
- EAR Acute CD player now used also as transport, waiting to make a decision on a valid source
- EAR 912 preamp
- EAR 534 power amp
- Cardas Clear cabling

Thanks in advance,
Massimo

Like to know why you don't like the Cardas Clear. I have a similar issue, still haven't decide what to do yet.
