Best Media Player for EAC and/or dBpoweramp?

I am using Windows 7 (64bit).

File type preference is WAV & FLAC (DO NOT use iTunes at all).

I am currently using J River as my Media Player.

Using secure ripping checked via Accurate Rip.

Have ordered a TEAC optical drive in hopes of an improvement over my stock OEM optical drives that came with my PC.

Using an M-Audio Audiophile 192 and/or ASUS Xonar Essence STX audio card for playback.

Digital S/PDIF out to an external DAC.

Thanks for the feedback, Blindjim & Zanth.

Any additional thoughts?

Larry,

That was exactly my thinking re. the optical drive. If I am getting perfect copies, as checked by Accurate Rip, then will a different drive make a difference?

I have not tested older, and possibly damaged cds, but the copies of new cds have been perfect on my stock oem drives.

I did see that dBPoweramp recommended Teac based on some comparative work between different drives, but I believe the cds used were defective cds.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
