The Blue Ray spec allows for Hi Res digital audio formats, similar to the DVD-Audio spec. Like DVD-A, Meridian Lossless Packing is used to compress the higher bit rate audio, and rates up to 192/24 are supported. Also like DVD-A, the data is encrypted, and this encryption will need to be cracked before you can rip it.
The big problem though, is more likely to be source material. Most people think MP3's sound good enough, which is part of the reason SACD's and DVD-A's have never really caught on. The High res audio market is really a small niche market, so there's little incentive for the big guys to get into it..... Of course, I would love to be proven wrong about that!
