96khz gives your ears ~2.16x more stereo information.

Now, whether or not the human brain is capable of processing that - or
recording engineers capable of capturing it - I dunno. I will have some
environmental recordings up shortly that, while not recorded using strictly
binaural techniques, sound pretty good.

I've still to find the reason for 192kHz.


Me neither.  It's one of those easy marketing sells. I'd rather have better
S/N, longer cables, sweet sounding mics....

Yes, 24 bits of audio is much more important than a 96khz sampling rate.
