Your comment is wrong, and this is all confirmed by Bob Stuart himself. You get 13-14bits of actual music information in the folded 24/48 file. Remember the folding has to throw away musical data to make room for the "extra 96KHz content" to fit into a 24/48 file.
When unfolded you restore about 17bits of the original data. This is in a 24/96 container of course. Again this is confirmed by Bob Stuart.
The folded 24/48 or 24/44.1 MQA file does not contain more musical information than a regular 16 bit CD.
