HT Processors in DD/DTS - do they all sound alike?

I'm confused on this issue. I have read here and elsewhere that in these two compressed bitstream formats - a $1000 receiver and a multi$$$$ processor sound "exactly the same". Could that possible be true? Any experience with direct comparison?
EAD
Lexicon
Meridian
Classe
Sony ES
California Audio Labs
Theta
....and the list goes on. Remember this is HT only - I know there is a very wide margin for 2 channel performance (and why so many of us have intergrated systems with separate transports and preamps separating HT from PCM - as not many (if any) processors can rival a top notch tube pre with a top notch transport).
