There are quite a lot of places where you can buy DRM free lossless
audio files ranging in quality from CD (44.1 kHz/16-bit/2 channel) all
the way up to 192 kHz/32-bit/5.1 channel and beyond.  These are
basically CDs (or better) without the physical CD media and packaging.
There are also streaming services that stream in "CD" quality (lossless
44.1kHz/16-bit) or better, if you prefer that model (and can live with
the fleeting availability of the content).  There are even a few record
companies (as long as you do not want an American one) that will sell
you their entire collection of digital studio masters in lossless DRM
free format.

There is not, however, and equivalent for Video -- it is presently stuck
at the "compressed all to ratshit" video and audio level -- unless you
buy physical media and extract the data yourself.
