Best Sounding Computer Audio Player For PC


 I have been using Foobar2000 to play computer audio through my DAC. It is simple and straight forward. But I am wondering if there is a better sounding players out there. I tried JRiver and thought the sound was slightly better. But JRiver is designed for not only music but video and well as photos. There is a lot of overhead that I really don't need or want.

 So what other audio players have better sound than Foobar2000?

I know Winamp won't work on Windows10 (although a new version might be coming out) ...  What would be the best sounding audio player for Windows 10 or Linux
Winamp works on Windows 10 for me, no problem. I don't think a new version is likely soon - if ever.

JRiver's Media Center is another good tool, but it isn't free.

Winamp will work - that's good news. Are you using that last .exe that they did?

No, I'm using v5.666 Build 3516. It's very stable and useful.

Right. I have a number of .exe files for Winamp but they are on the old media PC that isn't working right now. I can probably Google for it. Thanks for the info

@mwelbourne,
If you've never heard music sound better than from an mp3, you need to get out of the house more or just invest in something better. Storage is getting pretty cheap, no reason not to store larger better sounding file formats. Ripped redbook CDs from your local library will be a big improvement. Good high rez files usually even more so. 

@lostbears So what have done since 2016 on the topics discussed? Cheers,
Spencer
