I believe that both of the recordings that I was referring to were originally mastered on digital media at 44.1 or 48.0. There are no analog masters for these. So, I was wondering how much of an improvement in the sound is there bewteen the (upsampled?) DVD-A and the CD version?>/strong>

Rubbish.

From Hi-Res Musics website:

"The analog tape is first played back on a calibrated tape machine electrically and physically identical to the deck used to make it in the first place. Impedance matched custom tube amplification, mastering equalizers and dynamics processors are employed during the mastering stage to ensure that all of the sound is transferred to the digital domain. "

They don't work from digital masters at all, it's straight analog masters.

In addition, although mentioned, every title that I've spoken to Dave Schwartz about hasn't used EQ or dynamics processing.
