Should I include the SACD format in my main system?

I have a couple of her SACDs on the way.
I have to say that both DSD ( and.dff, dsf) files and ISOs sound very good. Is there a better choice than Foobar as a player? I do have both the DSD and SACD components installed.

I have tried Foobar, Nightingale, VLC, Kodi, Media Monkey, Music Bee, Virtual DJ and JRiver. I keep and use Media Monkey and Music Bee on my music server laptop. I don't know whether either offers DSD or SACD (from ISO) playback as none of my DAC's do either. However, IMO they both have a much better interface than Foobar. It's also easier to change their look and layout. Both support WASAPI.

My portable does DSF files and they sound very good.

I myself did not like the sound of Foobar. I thought it was lifeless and Dull.

http://www.hysolid.com/ might be one to try. You do need a phone to use it though.

There are the other usual suspects - JRiver, Roon, etc.

I was a big jRiver fanboy, until I met ROON.

BTW, that Hugh Masekela Hope recording shows with a DR number of 11 as ROON sees it. Shows higher in the dynamic range database.
