I found a few years ago that Windows was resampling everything on my
machine to 48kHz. That was audible and I'm not a hifi buff... I guess
it wasn't doing it that well, though 48000-44100 must be a bit painful.
But I'm not convinced why you need to playback at 96kHz. I suspect these
days my hearing ends at well under 15kHz - but surely yours doesn't hear
over 40kHz?
