"JRiver.... is purpose built for bit perfect playback" - what does that tell us?

That it sounds good? Nope - it doesn't, compared to some other alternatives, which are purpose-built for best sound quality - and bit-perfect playback is just one, necessary but not sufficient, requirement.

However, there's no argument from me that JRiver, used with one of its bit-perfect output options (ASIO, WASAPI, don't remember whether it supports KS) should sound better than WMP - even on non-optimized PC.

If OP uses it via DirectSound, then there's a good chance that the differences are impossible to hear.
