I am speculating based upon my interpretation of their own explanaton
on their own website, and I am using terms such as "may" "apparently"
and "if".  All I know is what I read on their website.  If their source
material is indeed the original recordings that were recorded at the
higher fidelity, it needs to state that on their website to clear up the
confusion the website itself has created.

I contrast that website with the much clearer explanation at Linn:

>From the Linn website:

Studio Master FLAC

If absolute sound quality is what you want then this file is best for
you. 
FLAC files are lossless at various high bit rates, for example,
44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz (check each title for actual
details).  The quality is identical to that of an SACD (Stereo only).
The format will be dependent on the actual recording method we used
originally. 

These files offer true "studio quality" and are what was used by Linn
to produce the production version of our CD releases. 

Please note: 
We recommend you burn a DVD-audio to create a back-up of your download
purchase.  These files are too large to burn on to a CD and you will not
be able to play these files in your CD player.
