Alternative music player

[CodeBreaker]

Hi,
I am looking for a media player (audio only) which has these advanced playback controls:

1. Customizable stereo width
2. Parametric EQ (with manual cut off frequency and gain adjustment)
3. Crossfade with adjustable gain
4. Compression (optional)

I mostly listen to Classical music, with decent quality headphones. I tried all EQ presets in iTunes and also a few custom EQ settings, but it still doesn't sound natural.

So I re-encode my songs in GarageBand and play them in iTunes by disabling the EQ. This sounds good, but I have to do this for every new piece I add to my library and I cannot make on the fly adjustments.

So any suggestions?
