high resolution streaming


I am not sure if this has been thoroughly discussed before but I have both Tidal and Qobuz. When they have "high resolution" music are majority of them truly remastered at high resolution from master recordings (analogue or high resolution digital) or just upscaled from CD? Any idea what % of the music at Tidal and Qobuz are "truely" high resolution?

I have Qobuz and really like it, however some titles labeled as HiRes are identified by my DAC as 24 bit 44.1k SR.   The Elvis Costello catalog has a lot of "HiRes" releases and many are identified as 24/192,  others are 24/96... these are obviously remasters and vary in quality.  

I forget who said it but an industry person basically said some of these tracks id'd at 24 bit are 16 bit of audio and 8 bits of noise , so why?
