I have discussed this before on here Micah and what are noticing is the difference between the calibration and bass management of your Denon (digtal) vs you SACD player/Blu-ray using multi-channel analog. You have probably calibrated the Denon and that is what the digital signal uses, but I bet you have not gone through setting up your speakers and sub (gain, distance, delay) in the menu of your SACD player and this is where the processing will occur in this case using analog. Have you boosted the SW signal though the Ext. In? There is a separate setting for this in your Denon for the purpose of multi-channel analog. I would recommend setting it to Ext.In +10 or Ext.In +15. This is probably the main reason you are lacking bass.
