Leaving iTunes in 24/96?

I'm accumulating a few HD tracks in 24/96 (converted from flac to Apple lossless). I know iTunes does not switch sample rates automatically. Any big difference in just leaving set at 24/96? I know the redbook tracks would get up-converted all the time.

Use Media Monkey instead of ITunes. You won't have to worry about converting.
Much more superior soft to iTunes IMHO.

You can spend $300 on Amarra...it switches automatically. There is also a remote app for iPad that allows it to be used as a track pad remote and has a program for Amarra...pretty cool!

Experiment and see if the upconversion sounds okay to you.

If you are using a Mac, remember that every time you change the sample rate in Audio Midi, you need to restart iTunes for it to take effect, otherwise it will just up- or down-convert. Don't know whether or not this is also true in Windows. This step is not required if you are using Amarra or Pure Music (both are Mac only).
