Why not if the power is simply there with todays hardware. I did read about several plugins for VST hosts that indeed work at higher sampling and bitrate internaly. For the final distribution to us listeners i still think anything higher as 16/44.1 will hardly give us any benefit. Of cause when this last step is done correctly.
