I can hear the difference between 16 and 24 bit files (and proved it to myself using foobar's comparator). I am hard-pressed, however, to distinguish 44/24 from 192/92, nevermind 96/24 from 192/24.
That said, I don't doubt those that claim to hear the difference. I recall that Charles Hansen (whose ears and gears I trust) said that the real benefit from quad-rate sampling is that it eliminates the need for brickwall filters. The files I used for my testing were downsampled from 192/24.
