Uhh, Pro Logic is also processed into Dolby Headphone. It has just as good surround cues as Dolby Digital being converted into DH, but it just sounds more processed. Pro Logic isn't a headphone tech. It's just the process of virtualizing surround through a 2 channel signal... mostly useful if your source has RCA output, and not digital.
I fail to see how a receiver that mentions Dolby Headphone, would be anything less than the actual Dolby Headphone. DH is just the process that takes a Dolby Digital/Pro Logic signal and converts it for headphones.
If the signal being being sent to the receiver is Dolby Digital, the receiver will convert it to Dolby headphone. It's the same exact processing that the Mixamp/DSS/AX720/etc do, just built into the receiver. In fact the receiver will probably have more than just one standardized setting found on these amps.
Obviously, a Dolby Digital signal can only be sent via optical, digital coaxial, or HDMI.
Or am I not understanding what you're trying to say?
