Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

24/96

Inherent to PCM audio is that the highest frequency one can record properly should be < ½ fs (sample rate).
Vinyl can reproduce up to 25 kHz (but higher values are reported) hence 44.1 is a bit low.
96 allows for frequencies up to 48 kHz
Recording at 96 gives you sufficient headroom, you will capture all frequencies in the recording imho.

It is a job to find the loudest passage for each LP.
Recording at 24 gives you more headroom then 16.
If you have a healthy headroom of about 20 dB, with 16 bits you are recording with 16-3=13 bit resolution. Better use 24
