Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it?

What exactly is the process to remaster.  Not the FULL 10 page answer but just in general.  What is being tweaked?  Why can't I hear a bigger difference?  Old recordings (through Tidal) seem to sound essentially the same as the original.  But I've also not done an exhaustive a/b test either.

Anyway, do you skip the "Remastered" titles or seek them out?

I personally find the newer recordings to be of much higher quality.  They sound crisper in the highs and tighter in the bass.  The vocals sound better too.

When I listen to my system it is easy to say now that is a great recording.  They just seem to have a more dynamic lifelike sound.  Others just sound flat and they don't show off my system.

By the way what is meant by  Japan 32XD 350 CD?
