Your link is all about why you should use higher bit/sample rates when recording and mixing and and really says nothing about why its better for final distribution for listening.
I guess I saw myself as trying to help, rather than trying to prove something. The consensus of opinion at Stereophile is that the digital tracks that are "24/192" are much superior to CD tracks, or any of the digital tracks offered by Apple, Amazon, etc. I don't have all the expensive equipment that Stereophile has, or even the 24/192 tracks, but I have no doubt that there's much better audio beyond the 44khz CD standard. Several CD's I have note that they were recorded on the best possible 24-bit equipment and software, then "dithered" down to 16-bit for CD. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on in that "dithering".
