Dolby vs PCM

Many times Dolby Digital is played back PCM because the DVD/BD player does the decoding instead of the AVR/processor.  

 

My Cambridge Audio 751BD has the option of doing all the decoding and sending to AVR as PCM, or bitstream and let the AVR decode.  I have not been able to hear any definitive difference between the two.  For movies, I always send bitstream from player to processor.  For music, I usually experiment with the choices.
