I was...but now I think I'll wait.  Apparently, HDTracks will have ALL of the albums in 24/96.  No release date, but since the same guy who did the DVD-A for Moving Pictures is doing the 24/96 work.

"Universal Music has confirmed all 15 albums were remastered in 96/24 then downconverted for CD in 44.1/16; only the DVD has the full 96/24 lossless audio.  However, all 15 albums are going to be available as full 96/24 downloads at HDTracks.com for about $18 each."

Thanks for posting this djmckaytx. I was hoping Rush would do this but had no idea if their high res material was selling well or not - looks like we have the answer here, great news! Here's the quote from the website that you referenced;

"Based on the strong feedback from the Moving Pictures 5.1 remix, Universal Records had asked me to remix Fly By Night, A Farewell To Kings and Signals in surround to be included in their ‘Sector’ series of box set releases currently underway. Like Moving Pictures, all the multitrack masters I worked with were transferred from the original analog tapes at 96 kHz/24 bit resolution and this quality was maintained right down to the finished master. Listeners are in for a revelation of new detail for these releases." - Richard Chycki, richardchycki.com, October 15, 2011


so - poof, there goes another couple hundred bucks towards buying high res replacements for redbook and or vinyl that I already own. But if they are all as good as the Moving Pictures 96/24 that I got from HDTracks then it will be well worth it!
