Unfortunately you are mistaken, I refer to a diagram above by Dr J Lesurf from the University of St Andrews who has kindly provided various tutorials on audio formats, and he illustrates and explains in a more accessible format that the patent on how MQA adjusts the data by bit stacking. You can also read about it in the MQA patent and be properly informed.. and yes I am an AES member…
The patent is quite technically involved, so Jim Lesurf provides other tutorials on noise shaping of the MQA encodings superimposed on a PCM base encoding.
