This is one of the reasons I still spin CDs. I will never pay a premium price for a download when the mastering of most of these 24 bit/192KHz files have been crushed by the compression pedal. Take a look at Rush's latest album 'Clockwork Angels' that was released in 2012. The sound on the CD is crap along with the HD Tracks 24 bit/96KHz as well. The only way I can listen to this album (and enjoy listening to the album) is to either play the vinyl version or play a Cd that has the vinyl rip of 'Clockwork Angels'. A pretty sad statement indeed.
As far as remasters are concerned, they are typically all louder (i.e, lower Dynamic Range) compared to the original Cd and this translates to a lower quality recording when played back in a high end stereo system. The exception that I have found is MOFI or Audio Fidelity remasters. These outfits know how to properly remaster a Cd with even more dynamic range compared to the original.
