From HDTracks: "U.K. post-punk icons, Joy Division, had an immense and profound impact on contemporary music. Closer is their acclaimed gothic-rock masterpiece. Released in 1980, the album was NME’s “Album of the Year.” Produced by Martin Hannett, the recording continues where the first album left off with standouts including “Heart And Soul,” “Isolation” and “Twenty Four Hours.” It ranks at #10 on Pitchfork’s “Best Albums of the 1980s,” #7 on Slant Magazine’s “Best Albums of the 1980s,” #8 on Q’’s “Forty Best Albums of the 1980s” and is one of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”" It's available in both 96/24 and 192/24. A rather unusual release on this website, and it looks to be the remastered version from 2007 as it has the University of London show. Link: Closer -HD Tracks

Blimey, that's fairly high resolution. The ordinary 44khz/16-bit FLACs of the 2007 remaster I use sound great but you'd probably struggle to hear much of an improvement above that unless you were using really high quality kit, which most people probably won't be. Not to mention the limitations on what the human ear can actually pick up beyond a certain frequency range. I'm in two minds, might purchase them later; would be quite cool having the digital "master". EDIT: This article dispels the 192/24 format a bit, probably won't bother; 44/16's fine and dandy for me.
