You can get non-DRM 5.1 downloads on MusicGiants in their Super HD catalog. There is some really good classical, jazz and blues from Concord and Naxos available. As far as HD Tracks, they seem to be missing all of the content from the four major music labels. I want music from artists like U2, The Rolling Stones, Alicia Keys and Pearl Jam.

First, I would like to clarify that MusicGiants offers both Super HD and HD downloads. The majority of the catalog is in HD (WMA lossless format) and these files are bit for bit, a true mathematical match to a CD. Then there is Super HD. These files are SACD and DVD-Audio recordings from the major labels that have been encoded at a much higher quality for 2.0 and 5.1 surround sound. They sample at rates up to 1100 kbps. There is some really great jazz content from Concord and Sony both in HD and Super HD and definitely worth the money!
