HD music downloads to iPod?

I am using an ipod classic with a wadia i170 transport and a music hall dac 25.2 dac. I have all my cds on the ipod in aiff and it sounds great; but i've been reading about on line downloads of 96/24, 88/24 and even 192/24.
My question is is there any way to get these high rez recordings onto my ipod? From what i've read on the subject there isn't; but maybe someone here knows how.

thanks,
roger

Another consideration is file size.

The Dvorak Symphony No. 7 in a CD-quality FLAC file at 16/44.1 is 242 Mb. At 24/96 it is 1,190 Mb and at 24/192 it is 3,550 Mb. (Thanks to 6 moons for the figures.)

It doesn't take many tunes at that resolution to fill up an Ipod.
