I seem to recall that the SACD issues were not a hi-rez remastering from the analogue tapes but just lower rez files files upsampled. Is there any evidence that this is not the case?

The provenance of the BluRay issue isalso open to question. Note the "weasel wording" of the sticker on the package, no reference to the analogue original master tape.

On the whole UMG seem very reticent about the provenance of their remasterings, for example the recent vinyl recut of the Karajan Debussy La Mer/Ravel Daphins and Chloe Suite disc is described by them as "mastered from original sources" which can mean just about anything. The result certainly sounds very inferior compared to the 1965 pressing.
