Watch this video. I am beginning to think it should be required viewing before one can post about digital audio.

Not singling you out personally, but your post contains several fallacies which are repeated millions of times. Watch and understand this 23 minute video, and you will get why they are false. Not false just in theory, but in actuality. Two or more samples is enough to fully reconstruct the signal, and one and only one waveform fits any possible combination of samples as long as no frequencies exceed half the sample rate. Yes, filters are imperfect, and reconstruction falls just a bit short of perfect theory. But most the of the important factors have been dealt with. We can get something like 95% or more of what is predicted by theory and put the last few percent of inaccuracies in a place where humans do not hear them. Effectively, audibly very, very close to 100% fidelity to humans in actual use.
You can go to 96 khz if you just really, really, really want to be sure. There certainly seems close to zero point, and beyond 96khz there is zero point. It has never been shown in a credible repeatable test that people hear 96 khz vs 48 or even 44 khz. Null results so far.
