Am I barking up the wrong tree if I preferred the sound of the Delta Sigma DAC in the Chord? Or is there some flavor of r2r that I might like? The simple answer is no or, I doubt it. I had a MSB Select II (ladder) and loved it, but ultimately ...

People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution?
Try optimising speaker placement. Then, try some room treatment (diffusers, absorbers, etc) - As other have noted above, you might find the bass magically appears! Following the above you may wish to bi-amp -- or not, as it were. OTOH, if you li...

It is strange that in your room the Yvettes outperform the D&Ds. Definitely try what @erik_squires suggests aboveand also try feeding them the same signal that goes into the parasounds.  
Technics SL-1200GAE or VPI HW-40 or …?
Of your two choices I'd choose a third one: Technics SL1200G. Following that, I might spend a bit extra money on upgrading the arm cable (maybe...).  
Battle of the Open Baffles
For outstanding OB performance look up -- better still, listen to -- Linkwitz' LX521 S. Linkwitz (RIP) was one of the legendary engineers in the audio sector (think of the Linkwitz-Riley xover, for example)  
Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice
