>> The tracks may have come from different engineering/mastering efforts even though they originate from the same performance.
I've been casually following the MQA discussions for quite a while and there have been a number of complaints about demo issues with MQA versions not being from the same master as the Red Book or file being used for comparison.

Even so, could those differences in mastering result in such startling differences in playback?
Yes
Give me an original multitrack master and I could mixdown several different masters that were so far apart in sound you would think they were totally different sessions. Remastering can create the biggest improvement in sound you can get, not the format

I'm confused now -- are you talking about remixing or remastering?
many times in remastering they go back to the original multitrack and remix. That new mix is then mastered.

How could it be any other way? Is it possible to remix but not master after that?
Yes. Remixing is taking the original multitrack tape or digital file and creating a 2 track file which can then be used for mastering. You have to master to get something that can be played back by consumers such as a CD. I suppose you could take that 2 track file and post it directly on a site so people could play it back. However mastering can add eq, reverb, and compression to further change the sound

The same complaints apply to comparisons of Hi Rez files vs CDs
