I am having the same issue with SACDs from the Oppo 103 to the Outlaw 976. I assume you know that the 103 only sends DSD from the HDMI2 out. However, when I switched and sent my HDMI2 to the 976 and HDMI1 to the TV, I still did not get any sound. Like you, I am using the analog connections. But I don't like having to switch the 976 audio input to 7.1 for SACDs and to HDMI for DVD and Blu-Ray discs.
If I am correct, I have never heard sound with my hdmi inputs when playing sacds and choosing dsd. This is the way it was with my Oppo 105 and now my Oppo 205. Only when I choose PCM in the sacd Oppo menu do I get to use the hdmi inputs on my prepro. I actually prefer the sound of DSD to PCM espically now that I have the 976. I don't mind switching to the 7.1 inputs when I play music because I like the dacs in the Oppo 205 even though the dacs in the 976 are very good as well.
