I did point out that on the record side you don't need a brickwall filter anymore with a higher scan frequency (although there is still a filter, just not so severe) and that there is a benefit even if you are only operating on Redbook in playback.
But if you playback at the higher bit rate of course that is even better, assuming your DAC really is up to it.
When we are mastering an LP from a digital file, we encourage the client to give us the highest resolution file they have- it makes for a better sounding LP.
I have to say at this point I really don't understand why someone would record at 44Khz/16 bit when there is so much hardware that can do better than that for very little cash! If you think about it, 44Khz 16 bits was created as a standard at a time when the Apple 2 was king. How quaint, how archaic. Look at how far computing has come in the last 34 years and we are still using that standard??
