The way I read that blurb, it just simply says that the master tapes for this new set were done in hi-res (24/96). The CDs will, of course, be standard 16/44.1, and there will be 24/96 downloads available, I assume via the usual channels (HDtracks, ProStudioMasters, etc.). The files available on iTunes will be of the 'Mastered for iTunes' variety (lossy AAC files, but down-converted by Apple directly from the 24/96 files sent to them by the record labels).
