The whole purpose of high sample rate digital is to improve the high

as sampling rate increases so does audible resolution in the higher
frequencies (dogs don't listen to records).

According the Nyquist theorem, what increases is the ability to reproduce
higher and higher frequencies. The audible 'resolution' of material in the
4-18 kHz range does not increase when sampling rates climb above
twice the top of that range (leaving aside the need to account for
filtering).


Don't fall into the trap of thinking that your amp/tweeter has to be
flat up to 50 or 100 KHz to fully appreciate the benefits of high
sample rate digital.

Don't fall into the trap that sample rates above 96 kHz
are necessary for digital recording. (See Dan Lavry's work as a reference).
