Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?

It's really difficult to compare resolutions with different masterings, delivery methods, sources, etc. I have hundreds of HI-rez files (dsd, hi bit rate PCM, etc). I have to say that even 24/44 is probably revealing the best a recording has to offer. Obviously, recording formats, methods, etc all play a huge role. I'm not talking preferred sources like vinyl, sacd, etc. I'm talking about the recordings themselves. 

Plus, I really think the recording (studio-mastering) means more to sound quality than the actual output format/resolution. I've heard excellent recorded/mastered recordings sound killer on iTunes streaming and CD. 

Opinions?

I offered 25% simply as a sop to see if anyone would bite. Would you bite at 10%? Alas, I’m correct. I know I am, too. You can bark and scold til you’re blue in the face. 🥶 I’m from the future. I only come back here to see if anyone is getting smart. And for the jokes. My future, unfortunately, cannot be yours as you are hung up. None so blind that will not see.

I think what VI is saying is that he is pretty much making up any numbers he is using and his statements are nothing more than unsubstantiated marketing numbers. His posts can be effectively in this thread, like most threads ignored. They are essentially advertisements targeting people looking for magic solutions to whatever ails them. You can pretty much guarantee that any reply VI will make to this post will be nonsensical, likely condescending, and using any number of tired jokes stolen from other people.

THEY are sending their cybertrolls from the future to undermine our democracy and the way we listen to music. They know nothing about our technology because theirs is so superior, they don’t bother. And you can recognize them by their jokes.

We are probing the future generations. Unfortunately, but a lot of them have no real future. Too much time spent with noses in books. Not enough time in reality. I’m getting all choked up. 😢 Geez, even a cosmic wedgie won’t work.
