Audio question on DENON DVD players 5910vs5900vs39

RE: 5900 vs 5910 vs 3910;
I use a Krell HTS7.1 via the digital Co-Ax only to decode ALL sound from my DVD player. Since these all have great pictures, I was wondering if there is any audio difference between the three while using an external decoder (Krell)?
If so, what is the difference, which one should I buy, and are there any other DVD players I should look in to? (I thought the Krell and Esoteric sounded a little better, but had less video features.)

Audiotrader,

Using digital coax only, not analog connections and not IEEE-1394, for DD and DTS sound tracks, I've never understood how there could be any audible differences between players like these given DD and DTS is sent in packets.

I have seen arguments about why differences under these circumstance can exist, but these seem to be a minority opinion.

The above comment does not apply to CD sources, or to SACD/DVD-A which are not available over digital co-ax.
