Maybe you are confused, only DTS MA (lossless) can have a exact bitdepth.

The core, or a downmix to 5.1 reencoded to a standard DTS (lossy), don't have any bitdepth, the samples are stored in frequency domain with a equivalent precission to 20-24 bits in uncompressed format, not matter if the source is 16 or 24 bits.

A -16 switch with a dts output (or other lossy format) have not sense.
