In bypass mode it still doesn't sound as good as direct.

It should sound exactly the same in bypass as it would without the BFD. Something is wrong with the hookup/cables or the BFD. You'll need to discover what that problem is before going any further in my opinion.
There are two types of bypass. One that bypasses the filters, and another bypass that is esscentially a pass through.
With the IN/OUT LED on steady, the filters are enabled.
With the IN/OUT LED off, the filters are bypassed.
With the IN/OUT LED flashing, the unit is bypassed.
In total bypass, you should notice absolutely no difference in your subs sound.

I am using high-end cables too, on the unbalanced 1/4" inputs. I have heard of a lot of "pin 1" problems with the BFD on the balanced inputs causing a lot of noise, and RF buzz, 50-60Hz hum,... so I have not tried the balanced inputs yet.

The only problem I'm aware of is the ground loop problem causing hum. This is easily corrected. I have no experience with balanced or unbalanced problems.
Are you using standard phono to mono (not stereo) 1/4" jack plug adapters like this to connect to and from the BFD?
Are you turning all the filters 'OF' in the program on the BFD except where you are using a filter?
Have you set the input level to the BFD correctly?
