Technology moves on and things can be improved. Unfortunately I cannot say anything about the CD release of the 2023 War Requiem, however if it was created from the same 24/192 master it should sound very close to the higher resolution version. Personally, I prefer downloads and I see no reason not to buy what is essentially the "master" of a recording, why bother with format conversions? For CD, the 24/192 master must be down-converted to 16/44.1.
Yes, not all remasters result in significant sound changes but each new release must be evaluated for its own sake and some clearly represent a major step forward in sound quality.
