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?

Go Yamaha. Have you ever seen "The Deer Hunter"? I think buying a piece of Denon equipment is the equivalent of DeNiro and Walken playing Russian Roulette with the vietcong. I have had three pieces of Denons finest(2 receivers and 1 CD player) and they ALL took the big one. And Onkyo isn't even in Denons league sonically. Come to think of it, with the last piece of Denon stuff I bought, I seem to remember the salesman saying "Imm-mow" as I walked out the door........
