Perhaps the "simplest" possible player is a command line one? My
"paplay" program plays (and loops) multichannel files to a nominated
device, and while it does not have interactive facilities it offers full
channel mapping and selecting. Plus elementary B-Format decoding.
Part of the old mctoolkit, now resident here:

and also included in of the even older CDP system :-).
I am toying with doing a GUI counterpart, but not for a little while yet.

I'd appreciate it if someone could recommend a very simple Windows

So far, the best solution is Wavosaur (https://www.wavosaur.com). The
price is right: free, but donations are appreciated. I sent them 20 Euro.
It's a very light DAW program - just a single executable file - and
doesn't need to be installed.
I copied it onto the Windows 10 PC, ran it, opened the 6-channel WAV
file, set the audio card to ASIO (MME didn't work right), easily routed
the 6 channels to the correct speakers for the hexagon speaker ring, and
hit the space bar to play the file.
It was that simple.
It has one other nice feature that's useful for troubleshooting: you can
mute any of the channels while it's playing by typing the number of the
channel. Typing it again enables the channel again.
I'd like to have found an even simpler program, but this is likely as
simple as it will get.
