It’s for different master’s and mixes rather than resolution. The SACD mixes are awesome both the stereo and multi channel and sound phenomenal.
As for the 2022 Remaster in high resolution it sounds great, but I am pretty sure the 16/44.1 also sounds great.
Of course, all this works with FLAC too, which not only takes roughly half the size, it can also embed metadata in a standard way, just in case Roon won’t be there forever.
I would give this post a hundred hearts if I could! 
Thanks for that 
I try to be a pragmatist who enjoys music 
I have nothing against Flac. I personally prefer WAV I guess going way back to the '90s.
As for as hard drive space that is moot for me.

I’ve compared the 24/96 remaster of Come Away With Me with the original album that I’ve bought way back when it was released.
Truth be told. I couldn’t hear a difference between them. CXCv2 using my CXNv2’s DAC, or the Qobuz FLAC straight from the CXNv2.
Both sounded perfectly fine with my Dali Spektor 2’s.
Exactly the same for me most of the time.
I trust myself enough to enjoy the music, but not enough to highlight differences in the sounds.
You know that means that neither of our systems are resolving enough 
More likely the ears are not resolving enough!
Doesn’t that come under systems, I left the definition very open
(But probably also true)
Re-ripping the CDs is not necessary, a program like dbPowerAmp can do a batch conversion of all the wav files to flac. Once they are all flac files there are programs that can read the files and add metadata to them. MP3Tag can do this but it’s not automated. Both dbPowerAmp (paid) and MP3Tag (free or donation) are Windows programs.
You might also want to check if there’s a program that can read the Naim metadata and affix the metadata to the newly generated flac files. This community is a great resource and many of the members will be very willing give you help and advice.
SongKong promised to write code for my Naim Uniti Core to translate Naim WAV to standard WAV, but it is very buggy and I haven’t mustered up the courage to tell Paul Taylor this sad news. I would need to find the time to document the problems/bugs and I haven’t had the time. That’d be the best solution probably. Re-ripping to FLAC will take me forever.
It’s quite painless as there’s no need to find the original CDs, just transcode the WAV files you have as it’s all ‘lossless’. You can use dbpoweramps batch features.
Can you explain it a little more? What do you mean by transcode, for example?
If you’re using dbpoweramp, use its Music Converter to ‘re-rip’ the rips. Other software offer similar functionality.
Sounds like you need a primer on the basics of digital audio. Unfortunately digital audio spans the world of audio and the world of computers. The audio world is concerned primarily with sound quality and the computer world is concerned with one and zeros. There is a middle ground.
Can anyone here recommend a few good sources on the basics of digital audio?
Spoon, the developer of dBPoweramp has wriiten an audio guide.
Exactly what I was hoping for. Excellent!
You get a pair of socks for Christmas. They are in blue paper. You unwrap them to get them out of the paper. You decide you don‘t like them (this applies only to the example with the socks) an wrap them into another paper. The socks you give somebody else as a present.
If you apply this example to a binary music file it is basically the same. You unwrap the content, put it into another container. First you had WAV, after the transcoding you have FLAC. The content remains the same. The wrapping is different.
Love the simplicity of the telling Peter.
I love being old , I don’t expect my ears to be so resolving so I just get on with listening
