...foobar on xp is awesome.
Some might disagree, but I think you go a long way improving sound by having a decent audio interface. Stock mobo sound codecs can be okay, but they're easily beaten, sometimes by sound cards as cheap as $100 or $150. You can get "entry level audiophile" stuff for $200 to $500 or prosumer stuff in that range that can beat out mobo sound quite easily. Once you have a good quality interface, THEN I would experiment with different players. IME, the players make a more subtle difference, but for me, the interface can be "day and night" - especially with background darkness and detail retrieval.
Cheers,
Presto
