At the risk of annoying Dane (LOL) Winamp does a very good job of playing HD 
files. I've just checked it on a 24bit 9600 sample rate. You have to tick a 
setting in preferences to allow it.

Winamp has always come with good Encoding/Decoding options, I’ll stick with my 
VLC thanks  and a new update has just been released I see.

VLC will do it yep but you’ll need drives to handle the files, in my case they 
came with my Rotel DAC.

It certainly does HD FLAC, I’ve not tried it with ALAC, don’t have any of those 
types of files.

Course if you’re wanting to go the “Stand-Alone” way - playing files without 
your computer - then there are plenty of devices out there that will support HD 
audio, the newer Receivers such as the Denon AVRX3100W or the Yamaha CDN-500 
CD/Network/Media Player, the former being an excellent choice if you have an 
existing system and the CD player is getting rather old and its time to get a 
new one.
