What people should understand is we need 40kHz sampling rate and perfect converters -- and because we don't have perfect converters, the imperfections of analog filterers before less than perfect conversion need to be compensated with higher sampling that puts those imperfections outside of human hearing range.

That however is proved to be somewhere near 60kHz sampling, and 96k is good enough for even mediocre converters such as DigiDesign 002 from +15 years ago.
