Need help from an expert on Denon and Onkyo Receivers

I have a Denon AVR 3803 and I just inherited a Onkyo TX-DS696. I know the Denon has more power and is 7.1 instead of 5.1. I'm wondering which to use to as my main receiver for my plasma, dvd, and time warner cable box. My cable and plasma support HDTV. Which unit would be best for HDTV and for the best quality sound?

I only have 5 speakers currently so the 7.1 of the denon doesn't make too much difference.

Thanks!

Overall, the Denon is the fancier receiver. It's got better DACs, more processing power, more watts, and so on.

Play your favorite surround clip from your favorite DVD thru each receiver. See which sounds better thru your speakers. Let the speakers tell you which receiver sounds best, not one of us...
