Did someone recognise, that different software players sound different?
I recently 'installed' a player named XXHighEnd and I believe the sound is much more relaxed and realistic than playing the same wav file over foobar2000 with the Secret Rabbit Code upsampler.
It's awesome

Did you compare to foobar2000 WITH ASIO or kernel streaming? If you could still hear a difference, it means xxhighend is not bit-perfect but is modifying the data in some way--like Sir Nobax suggested, a DSP effect.

Oh ja I tried ASIO and XXHE IS bit perfect but it still sounds pretty different and for my ears much better!

If it sounds great to you, thats all that matters. However, I will mention that HydrogenAudio did not give a good assessment for that player at all:

"XXHighEnd" - what is this player? - Hydrogenaudio Forums

Okay I'm d/l'ing this now to see if it works.

edit: lol the OP has the same avatar as the admin in the XXHighEnd forum

edit: holy crap, the activation key for this costs almost $100

He tried other avatars and found the XXHighEnd forum admin's avatar produced the best sound.

Haha. Win!

If you prefer one bit-perfect player to another bit-perfect player - just stay with the one you like the best.

Nice to hear that you have found your player.
