Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I just searched through the archives and was surprised by the absence of any exhaustive discussion on this subject.
So, assuming identical mp3 files, no equalizer, ceteris paribus, etc., what is the best sounding desktop player? Does the answer depend on the type of music/song/speakers/headphones used?
Right now I'm stuck between iTunes and foobar, but with the speakers I use now I'm not sure which one sounds best.

One small note, when I was listening audio files under linux (Slackware, Mandrake with Alsa drivers, with mpg123 and madplay, xmms and other players), I noticed improved quality of sound, this is strange but it sounds better then windows, even with not high-end sound card.
