Okay, spent a little time checking whether some players are bit perfect. If the OP wants to try another and know it is bitperfect for comparison. They are free and cost nothing for a try out.

Pine Player is bitperfect. Free in the app store.
Cog is bitperfect. Free open source in the app store.
Audacity is bitperfect. Free download.
Reaper which is a DAW is bitperfect. Free trial download.
With all these you want to check what device they are set to feed, see that volume is set to 100%, open Midi in the Utilities folder and confirm everything is set for the same sample rate.
I tried VLC and couldn't find a way to make it bitperfect. Same for 5k player. These are primarily video players anyway.
For this I used a Macbook Pro running Monterey. Fed the USB out to a Topping D10 Balanced which also has digital outputs. Fed the digital output stream via SPDIF to the Zen Tour recording interface which recorded the digital stream. Then compared the 10 second music snippet I used to see if bits were exactly the same. The Zen Tour was connected to a totally separate computer so no accidental loopback. Those I said were bitperfect definitely are.
