BIS - e|classical vs. Qobuz

[semente]

I've noticed that many BIS recordings which are available at Qobuz as "16-Bit CD Quality" only are also available at e|classical "STUDIO QUALITY" 24/44.1

 

Does anyone know if the 24/44.1 version is a repackaged version of the Redbook or if it's true 24-bit?

Here's an example:

From what I've seen, Qobuz is selling many Redbook boxsets at £16 which retail at eClassical for 3x, 4x or more as much.

Some of them are also available in Higher Res at eClassical but not a Qobuz.

 

Qobuz Redbook - £16

eClassical Redbook - $50 / £36

eClassical Studio (24/44.1) - $70 / £50

I'll have the Qobuz.
