Rookie here, SACD's sound "muffled". Normal?

I need some assistance. I recently purchased Denon AVR-2805, Denon DVD-1920, Energy RC-70's. CD audio sounds beautiful. Clean and clear high frequency more than enough "high's" for my taste. My question is why do SACD's not deliver the same clean and clear high frequency? SACD's image very well and produce a smoother full tone than CD audio, but I have very limited high range. I purchased quality rca cables and have tried multi channel setting, 2 channel stereo setting, different DSP settings and nothing seems to produce those highs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Borrow another SACD player from you dealer for comparison. If that sounds then take the SACD in question to the dealer / friend for comparison. Never heard this before.
Another thing might be- you are familiar to the digital sound and feel that the close-to-analog sound is not what you like.
