People seem to forget something about audio with these increased sampling rates, the sampling rate doesn't only effect the frequency reproduction ability of the audio but the phase reproduction. What relies on a high definition of phase reproduction? Multi-channel (positional) audio. The BASEMENT spec for Blueray audio sampling is 48khz, and it goes up to 192khz.
Professional audio studio's record at this rate from multiple microphone's or digital spatial effects can be added with incredible precision at those sampling rates by very carefully processing an manipulating the delay between channels.
I'm a hardliner though, although I can appreciate the effects tube amplifiers have on some audio this can be designed into the audio itself! You can actually post process 'crap' audio signals through something that mimics the effects of a tube amp and play them back on modern solid state equipment with the same effect! In my opinion the amplifier design should never flavor the audio, there is one and only one purpose for and amplifier and speaker system, and that is to as accurately as is possible given current technology reproduce the signal.
The rest should be left up to audio signal engineers.
