You're right, we don't need a 96kHz sampling rate for audio replay.
However, a high sampling rate isn't utilised to extend audible high
frequencies.


I know of a very useful web site that has visual graphs of sampling
rate converter quality. It uses a spectrogram to show the generation
of alias products, comparison of various frequency and impulse
responses, and enables comparison of quite a few different pieces of
software.
