Alert backwards. I was able to find a moment of pure silence in one of the sampletracks and it may be absolutely full 16bit left. It is really hard to find music that really needs that. In this case they seem to have left silence dither for a moment at the end of the file. It is nice ATH shaped dither curve! In the pic above is the MQA noisefloor against iZotope 16bit silence. I forgot if that iZotope sample has the low or medium strong shape. Now take well shaped dither plus proper downsampling and the claim better as standard cd is not very far fetched. You seldom see noise shaped dither to maximize the dynamicrange on CDs. It may look bad on spectral plots for some but that is how shape works, ATH in use. 19741
