With today's transducer technology, 2X sample rates are more than adequate. There is absolutely no advantage to sampling at 4X (176.4 kHz and 192 kHz) rates.

Jumping to an 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz (2X) sample rate should eliminate all concerns about exceeding the limits of our hearing. These systems provide a 44 kHz to 48 kHz upper limit on the frequency response. They also capture everything that we can capture with today's microphones. Furthermore, few loudspeaker transducers can reach these frequencies.
