Could be that it is handshaking (or more importantly NOT handshaking) with one of the devices (likely the DVI connection) and not the other. Or as I said NOT handshaking which will result in no sound. Anytime HDMI is connected and you are playing an SACD you gotta have the TV off and/or the extra HDMI/DVI thing OFF. If it detects either one it will only play PCM. It will also only play in 2 channel as it is handshaking somehow with a 2 channel device not the AVR.

Have you checked to see if your new receiver has an option called "auto" ( or something line that? My Marantz, which is closely related to Denon, has this option for sound modes and it generally means u don't have to worry about changing sound modes on the receiver. Whatever signal it gets sent over HDMI (or optical, etc) it recognizes it (PCM, DSD, DTS, DD, etc) and just works properly. Worth looking into before you return it.Hi at all and a happy Eastern...
while there a a few free days, I decided to start with a hardware-upgrade.
You know, my equiptment is verry old-styled, analog.
Besides my OPPO 93 (with ISO-FW) I´ve an AV-Receiver YAMAHA RX V1500
(no HDMI, 5 channel analog inputs, optical and coax inputs and output and component video-connections)
and my TV is also an "oldie" (plasma, but no HDMI).
There is also a mediaplayer "Xtreamer-Sidewinder" (MK1), optical connected and my files are on a synology NAS.
So I ordered before Easter an new AV-Receiver DENON AV 3313.
The first step was the 3313´s setup. It´s a bit terrible without a GUI, so I used my PC-Monitor
(DVI with HDCP). The OPPO´s 2nd HDMI I connected with the 3313, the OPPO´s output I setup to DSD.
I put in an (original!) SADC (DSOTM) an on the screen of the 3313 shows a light "DSD",
but NOTHING was to hear. :-(
So I changed to PCM and it works, as I also setup the 3313 input to "Multi-channel"
(there are 2 possibilities: DTS and Multi-Channel), it shows PCM Multichannel.
A DVD-A was also with that setup playable.
Now I took a DVD-V with DTS-Tracks and there was only "Stereo" shown.
As I switched the Input-Mode of the 3313 to "DTS" there was
"DTS-Multichannel" shown and all channels was to hear.
Much more difficulte was the connetion of my mediaplayer:
you have to decide, wich output formant you want to playback via HDMI:
2 channel DTS-downmix (forgetable), DTS, DTS-HD (and so on) OR Multichannel PCM.
If I want to playback Multi-Channel-FLACs, I´ve the output of my mediaplayer to change to
Multicannel-PCM, the 3313 also, otherwise I hear only stereo.
If I want to playback a video (mkv with DTS), I´ve both to swith to DTS.
I can the mediaplayer connect via fiber to the 3313, but there is no PCM-Multichannel support, only DTS (and AC3).
There are 2 possibilities:
Composite (video) and optical(audio) for watching filme (terribel!) and listenig audio (Multichannel PCM) via HDMI
OR
watching films via HDMI (HDTV with DTS and so on) and listening audio only in stereo.
To change the setup by each using is impossible (because of "my other best part") ...
Are there an ideas besides this cases????
I´ll send back the 3313 after Easter, this is clear for me.
