But 96 - or even 192, can be useful sometime. The megapixel race in the digital photography world can be absurd if the pixel are of less quality than the previous generation (as I've read somewhere, point and shit are the main area for this). But if you need to heavily modify your picture, the more the merrier - and the same can be said about higher frequency rate. Maybe only for "some" advanced people, but this need can arise (and this without even taking into account the annoying aliasing and so on, that can be neutralized this way) Still I'm happy that company like RME try to lower the latency - the most important thing for me, with software synth and live recording/looping (well trying to).
