If you've got even a basic understand on Shannon's theorem and about how digital audio recording works then you know that there is nothing you can improve with 384kHz sample rate but a lot of things you can make worse. If you BELIEVE that actual 96kHz recordings are an improvement over 48kHz (which is debatable. I have a few recordings where I tend to hear a difference but that could as well be due to bad processing on the 48kHz side) then 192kHz is what you want to go for in mastering to be able to do processing. But even THEN there will be zero advantage SQ wise in using 192kHz sample rate files for playback, the only advantage is that you don't have to do processing or handling of two sets of files if you've got the 192-files anyway. You will not get SQ improvements beyond 96kHz (certainly also not beyond 88.2 but I don't think that's anything somebody's shooting at today, it's just a mastering format for 44.1).
