Default Where can I find lossless downloads of individual tunes?

How timely!! The latest issue of Macworld has an article, p. 64, on
high res downloads. Apparently there are some commercial sources.

I haven't checked them out but the author mentions about a dozen sites,
all the way from 16/44.1 to 24/96. Apparently, you can even find
24/192. It will take a while to check these out, but if anybody else is
heading down this road, check out the September, 2011 issue of Macworld.


Heck, you can even find DSD downloads!


The download may be DSD but that gets changed as soon as you play it.

Since everybody's computer audio interface passes only PCM-signals, any
possible or impossible advantages of DSD get lost well before the music hits
the PC's output terminals.
