Thank you Al. If there are any harmonics within 50kHz amplifiers should be still linear (modulation can only happen on nonlinear element). Any problem would already show with vinyl gear that has similar bandwidth. I don't really see any source of audible harmonics above it. On one hand studio engineers would clean it up but on the other microphones already do it. Most of microphones go only to 30kHz and some extended response go to 50kHz. One of the most popular Neumann U87 ($3600) goes only to 20kHz while the most expensive I could find Sony C-800G ($8000) is only 18kHz. At the concerts as well as in the studio nothing goes directly - everything comes thru microphones to PA system or studio console. Further more, I suspect that studio equipment bandwidth does not extend any higher providing natural filters as well.
Focus on 24/192 Misguided?.....
As I've upgraded by digital front end over the last few years, like most people I've been focused on 24/192 and related 'hi rez' digital playback and music to get the most from my system. However, I read this pretty thought provoking article on why this may be a very bad idea:

Maybe it's best to just focus on as good a redbook solution as you can, although there seem to be some merits to SACD, if for nothing else the attention to recording quality.
