Where do you get your Hi-Res audio ?

I have the B&W upgrade on my X5 and plan on maximizing the system's capabilities with hi-res audio files [other than discs!].

Was curious to hear about user experiences on this one?
Also, where do you download or purchase these?

ITunes, Amazon and Sirius are compressed and are <= 48kHz and <= 320kbps . While I heard a significant and positive impact from the sound system even on these sources during extended and multiple test-drives, I still want to utilize the full capability of the system when I pick up my car.

I have some example websites listed here [ but not tried them yet]:

Some folks have also mentioned Tidal for streaming , but the iphone App only comes with CD quality audio, gotta get the desktop app for higher quality content.

Thoughts?
