IIRC, the DSD-layer of the original SACD of this album was made from the 16/44.1 master. I haven't followed developments since then, I hope the present hi-res offerings of this album have been made from the master and not that original DSD file!

According to Acoustic Sounds....The DSD file was made from the Analouge master tape. No such designation was mentioned in the 24/192 file.
They did make a second version of the SACD, from the original master tape. There was a lot of flak about the first one.

The funny part about the "Come Away with Me" fiasco when first released was that unsuspecting audiophiles swore that the SACD layer sounded significantly better. ;-)
It did sound better .... the "master" may well have been recorded/encoded in PCM, but it doesn't follow that it was downloaded at 16/44. In fact, it could well have been upsampled and converted to DSD without the limiting digital-to-analogue conversion that the 16/44 CD went through.
