rookie questions about used Bryston BDPs
I have owned the BDP-2 now for several years. I have it connected to a 6TB hard drive where all my music including lots of HR files are stored. In addition, I am also running Quboz through it.Perhaps the Manic Moose format is outdated but it works... 
PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp = emotionless?
I added a Ayre KX-5 to my PS DS Dac. Matches well and adds the depth and feeling I think you are missing.ozzy

Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15
Open your audition list  and include the Audioquest Niagara 7000. I have owned the PS Audio units and many other "conditioners". The Niagara is in another league. You can feel the "boogie factor".ozzy

Highly recommend Paragon Sight and Sound in Ann Arbor, MI

Soldered VS ...everything else
If you can, connect the clean bare wires to the speaker terminals. All connectors, paste or any applied coating will degrade the signal.But, if that is not possible make the connection with the best metallurgy available. No solder, paste, etc. Cri... 
Another Music Direct Catalog observation
It also is a problem with younger people actually enjoying the hardware and the hobby as we old farts do.I can remember making so many speaker cabinets, Heathkit projects along with recordings on reel to reel, 8 track, cassettes, records, cd and n... 
Another Music Direct Catalog observation
Lets face it the best music was made during that era. No internet, no cable, no computers, etc. Music was the best way to express and enjoy. Too bad the sound (recording) quality was not better. I think that’s why we keep buying all the "new remas...
