It looks like they are focusing on older digital recordings now, some only 16/44.

Anyway, it's not in the bits, but in the soul ...

"Experience the legendary performance in this new Super Audio CD/CD format. Not only for new followers, but also for well experienced followers of these recorded materials. All will be equally impressed by the “soul” hidden within the notes, but never before found in previously released recordings in any format."

SACD = Soul Audio Compact Disk: musical soul added to low resolution material by converting it to DSD, massaged by the marketing department and sold at triple price to ignorants (from Wikipedia).
