Default 24 bits of what?

I saw in stereophile they are releaing some old stones stuff in
http://www.stereophile.com/content/h...ez-downloads-=
rolling-stones
stuff "at 176kHz/24-bit and 88kHz/24-bit.".

Isn't this a greater resolution then the analog equipment used to
create and then transfer to digital these recordings which the article
describes as

"For the analog to digital transfers, vintage reel-to-reel tape
machines were utilized=97a modified Ampex 351 with original tube
electronics (full track mono and two track stereo) and an Ampex
ATR-102 modified with Aria Discrete Class-A Electronics (full track
mono and two track stereo). A Sonoma DSD digital audio workstation was
the chosen high resolution format and Meitner Design ADC8 and DAC8
MKlV converters were used for the conversion process."

Is this just another milk the consumer exercise?
