As of now, as Tkermit mentioned, HDTracks is the highest quality download available. Just do a Google search for it. However, I've mentioned the "Pono" a few times in this thread; if you're interested in the best sound possible I'd recommend reading up on it (it's not out yet though.) Hope this helps.QUESTION: Do you folks know of any website that sells downloads of NEW lossless files? Gosh, even if the record labels were to launch this, I would pay.

You're going to have to spend a hell of a lot more than $150 to notice a difference. Plus, you're using speakers. There's nothing wrong with that, but headphones (IEMs or on/over ears) are known for producing the best sound. You'll need a reference set, which will run you around $200+, $200 is pretty low end for a reference set, and a half decent amp.So I understand the desire for better sound. But as long as CDs are seen as some sort of quality in 2012, iTunes files are more than good enough for me. I haven't been able to find any environment in which I can tell a noticeable difference between iTunes and CDs. Ad I just replaced my car speakers with some Kenwood models that retail for $150 a pair.
