Cause 48Khz 16bit audio is very much sufficient for human hearing, and if you have enough experience of audio compression you know that there is several codecs that can achive very close to transperent audio with say 64kbps per channel (and most formats are above that!). I've encoded several surround tracks form lossless to multiple formats, you be surprised how little it affects hearable fidelity.
With that said, I'm sure that the HD-track sounds better for you, but most of that doesnt come from the higher specs (sample rate, bit depth and losslessness)
