Right, but from my POV, I'd not use the "lossless audio" argument like that, more than there can be a difference in sound.This, I think is another problem with MQA. Before MQA we could (mostly) assume that a flac file contained lossless audio, but now, because they chose to use flac a container, we cannot anymore :-(
I say that because I think most higher than 16/44.1 content is available onyl if the production uses higher than that, and moist of the time, it's not to provide a better sound by offering a Hi-Res version, it's just that the production chain uses this sample rate because it was a need to work correctly (for example depending on any plugin used). Some work at 44.1, some at 48, some at 88.2... because they hardware works best at this frequency, and that's all. If for someone, it's 88.2, then you get a 88.2 master file in the end. But once again, we can't generalize
