Just about any music player for Windows will play back a lossless file.

Here's an overview of a few:

VLC player will play pretty much any audio or video format you throw at it. An it's free.

MediaMonkey is another one.

You could also use Logitech Media Server with Squeezelite is another good option. It can be used on the same computer and has a smartphone app.

Another one for IOS is the free player from Onkyo -- pretty nice. Well, it's not quite free -- there is an in-app purchase ($5 I think) that is needed for hi-res playback -- otherwise it's just mp3. Very nice with VoiceOver if you're interested.

Another one (now with an Ios app, is foobar2000 totally free and lots of features.

HTH,

Jim
