Some older AV receivers do not process bass management, speaker configuration, delay times, etc, when used with PCM 5.1 input. Also, some older ones fail to amplify the LFE by 10db as should be the case with PCM5.1. One of these might be your case, because although PCM should sound a bit better than DD, it shouldn't sound radically different (better or worse).
