Even if the 16-bit version could include enough of the MQA metadata to be
useful, you are overlooking the huge benefit to the record industry of
having a single inventory: a 24-bit lossless file that unpacks to be
24-bit/high sample-rate audio with an MQA-enabled DAC but also plays as
16-bit/base-band audio data on legacy DACs.
