Question about DTS on Integra DTR 8.2


I'm a beginner trying to get my first setup finished. I recently purchased an Integra DTR 8.2 receiver, and now have my Millenium DTS Decoder sitting unused on my rack. Do you think the Millenium decoder would work better than the one built into my Integra receiver. Also another quick questions, my Yamaha DVD-C920 has a built in dts decoder, as does my Integra DTR 8.2 How does the system decide which DTS Decoder to use? and which one of the three would be best?

Everything has to be DTS to work, meaning your DVD unit has to be DTS compatable aswell as your Reciever, it is not a matter of choice as to wich one you use, they all work in "concert" no that you have a DTS reciever and a DTS DVD player, I dont think the Millenium unit is really more than a paper weight at this point, although I dont really know what it is I can bet it was an add on Decoder to give an older unit DTS ability, now that you have all DTS capable equipment it is sadly a paper weight.
The DTS is decoded by the DVD player, and accepted by the DTS compatable Reciever, it is not that both decode it, it is the fact that both will produce it.
