Yes this is a quite common case the existing master is 44,1kHz or sometimes 24/48 which seems to be the popular music standard some niche audiophile or some classical labels may use higher resolution but they are the exception .
But it does not really help with much of thier content which is much baby boomers rock from the 70s even captured in glorious 384kHz or DSD that analog tape still has less resolution than reedbook 16/44.1 kHz . Now I make my piont :) the actual technical spec is completely uninteresting as soon as it is 16/44.1 or better . What would matter is which master they source . If you truly wanted to sell HD or Hi Fi versions of anything you would select the masters with great care ,curated by humans . Not just making sure the dowloadfiles have big impressive numbers. That would include asking labels to actually not send their latest remaster effort in some cases , these are sometimes plagued low dynamic range and accompanying loudness war problems . But something else that the aficionados of a certain work/artist preferrers . It could in some cases actually be the latest carefully made remaster so I dont dismiss all remasters. ( some goes for so called hifi streaming services, who just lets the labels upload whatever they fancy without any QC ) . I would truly be an imidiate custommer if some service or shop provided definitive versions of the music or choices if they are several well liked versions -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
