Hello,
The dac's that will provide 24 bit 96 khz or more are using upsampling. Using interpolation they will, or try to, fill in the musical information that got lost during the sampling process. Depending on the quality of the dac this can provide you with a better result but there is no guarantee that these 24/96 or 24/192 will sound better. Even very cheap sources are having 24/192 dacs since these are cheaper in production nowadays. Trust your ears I would say,
Bram
