The only theoretical benefit of 96kHz over 48kHz is that the input
filters on the AD does not need to be so sharp that it affects
frequencies below 24kHz. At least to my knowledge.

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....

Wouldn't this translate to bit depth?.

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