Which DTS Decoder???

I have an Onkyo 989 receiver that does not have DTS.I have heard the difference in the quality of sound in a DTS recording versus a DD recording. My Pioneer 525 dvd player does have DTS capabilities. Which outboard DTS decoder would you recommend? I am looking at the MSB and Rotel units so far...

i am not familiar with your equip. the way h/t equipment is falling...you might just go for a new receiver. i have seen some good deals on equipment here. dts has a 6.1 format now and i am sure dolby is around the corner. this would be alot less equipment. a thought anyway.

If you want to hold on to your curent receiver than I would not invest much money into a DD/DTS decoder. I would look for a Technics SH500D decoder which does both DD/DTS and can be had new for about $200 - $300 and used for about $150-$200.
