Given that Mutations came out in 1998, is a multitrack studio recording, it's assured that we're dealing with a PCM recording unlikely 24/192 back then. So your concerns about the hi-res provenance is definitely understandable for them selling a 24/192 copy... I certainly hope it wasn't just a 44kHz file converted to DSD via JRiver! To call that "hi-res" would be fraudulent I think!
