Try re-reading Archimago's stuff again. From a data encoding perspective it claims offer more hi-res-ness than could fit a standard-res container . HDCD 2.0 if you will. But given that we can now stream 96/24 FLAC ( or above) - with much less processing overhead - and we can support the bandwith ( netflix can stream 4K / UHD) at much higher data rates, what problem is it we are exactly trying to solve. Especially for extant works ( not those that are yet to be recorded and mixed). Some (cynics? / realists?) argue that it's yet another licensing cash grab from those who's patents are due to / have expired.

May I suggest https://archimago.blogspot.com/search?q=MQA ? Although http://www.mqa.co.uk/customer/mqacd hmmm
