for mac I never found a better player than
http://cogx.org/
does not need any "library", just your music folder, light as hell, plays
flac.... fuck I love it.
I'm listening on Cabasse Moorea 420 + AMC Amplifier or Adam A7X / Babyface
in the Studio.
@Clint I got 3 original dynaco a25 woofers in fine condition, which I would
sell.
Just if you need them one day.
