I doubt you ever get the "Real Studio Master". They sell everything above 16bit 44.1kHz as such. In many cases the studio format is DSD or DXD and high bitrate PCM they don´t sell. When reading about some studios transfering analog tapes they do it with hardware that is capable of 384kHz or DSD and only sell already downsampled or DSD to PCM converted data as studio master. Creating a 16/44.1 of these highres files directly shouldn´t sound any different as the stuff they sell you. Also funny how some studio masters are sold as Unlimited and are 3dB more silent as the limited CD version. Me as CD buyer should feel arsed because these 3dB don´t need 8bit more and for sure already don´t play a role on the 16bit of the CD :) There are more stupid things to this Hires... To be sure to get the best version around it seems atm. you have to buy these Master downloads and you may use a self dowsampled version for daily use.
