Onkyo TX-SR700
I know this does DTS ES and is fairly cheap. I'm thinking about getting this for my dad for Father's day. Does it decode DTS ES discrete? I know that some receivers only do Matrix. Thanks
Also you think it's a good receiver?

I own an Onkyo receiver and I recommend them highly. I can't find any info for sure on the DTS ES decoding, but others in its price range do both discrete and matrix, so I would be surprised if it didn't.

Meet Onkyo’s TX-SR700, a versatile 6.1-channel home theater receiver that pulls out all the stops to deliver stunning new levels of soundtrack realism. What’s the secret? Well, for a start, it’s compatible not only with DTS-ES, but also with Dolby Digital EX, the latest digital surround format from Dolby Laboratories.

I would look to a Denon for better DTS. Maybe the AVR-1802 or the AVR-2802, both of which can be found cheaper or just around the same price as the Onkyo, and they have better, cleaner performance.
