The manual for your AVR 320 says it only supports standard PCM which is stereo, so you're not getting discrete 5.1 audio which is why normal DD 5.1 sounds better. Also, the talk you hear about PCM being better refers to Linear PCM, or LPCM which is multi-channel and uncompressed. Optical doesn't have the bandwidth to support it. You need HDMI capability in order to get LPCM.

edit: Whoops, boredandlazy beat me to it. I had started typing that and stepped away for a bit before hitting submit. Should'a refreshed first.
