Indeed this is one of the rare exceptions. When around 2000 many DVD-A
arised they were often completely new mixes and carefully remastered
versions. No wonder they sounded better as the corresponding CDs.
Today of most DVD-A releases from back then a better sounding CD
version is around meanwhile. One reason 24bit arises now is that they
want us to buy online downloads and get the music we own already on CD
again inmuch better quality,  marketing says. At least on HDtracks mayn
older releases come up as 24bit now.
