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.

This is why there is more advantages rising the SR from 44.1 to 48 rather than from 48 to 96. Going to 48khz you force the filters to work in a safer range, outside the hearing spectrum. About the digital processing, some plugins work at high SR regardless the session SR, like the Massenburg eq that works always at 96khz.
