I think we are suddenly going to see a lot of interest in 24/96 in these forums. For most IMHO its a non-issue as there a lot of quality that can be squeezed out of good old 16/44 (eg lossless CODECs) which even now most don't use. However, my reading of the HiFi magazines is that higher bit rates sound more and more natural (even tho many don't actually notice). The problem as you say is there is tiny amount of source material and few want to rip their own vinyl at anything like this quality.
However, lets search the web and unpack some of this, to generate some answers...... q1.
