I believe in many things but the impulse/time domain or whatever you mean with that is more as enough with 16/44.1. Todays hardware can do 24/192 and higher. You can´t sell a device today that only plays 16/48. The Transporter maxes out at 24/96 btw. Since business has to go on they sell it, people already buy it so the market is there.
