I love the sound of the SID chip, happy to find out about this project as well: https://github.com/frntc/SIDKick-pico

8 Bit Weapon are making some fantastic use of it:

The host and mastermind behind this artful resource is no other than:

Enjoy and have fun playing around with the player settings as well to tweak any tune available to your liking.

I prefer local. Do you know of a good macOS SID player? I'd love to drag out some of my old files.

This is a painstaking software remake. It's mostly geared towards making a vst to use as a synth, but you can play old sid files using various chipsets. https://www.plogue.com/products/chipsynth-c64.html

I use https://zxtune.bitbucket.io/ on Windows and Linux. It's cross platform for Mac too and I imagine it works.

I use VLC on macOS. I think it uses reSID.

8bit Weapon transports me back in time. Pure hypnostalgia.
