Onkyo,Denon,or Yamaha for DolbyDigital?


I was wondering if any body here has used either of these three for Dolby Digital and how did they perform SQ wise and which one or ones had the most life like impact? I have an Onkyo that I use just for music and I'm looking to get a D.D. system and need some feed back,these brands are in my budget,which is around $700. Any suggestions?

I recently sold my Yamaha DSP-A1 to buy the Denon AVR-5700. Being such similar products I needed a good reason for doing this. Simple answer: The Denon is way more involving in 5.1 and better in stereo. It also has a tuner that is superb. Don't hesitate, buy the Denon AVR-3300. It is a great deal in your price range . In most rooms you don't need as much wattage as the 5700 has anyway.Good luck.
