Tre is correct: almost everything is tracked to digital. Sometimes the 2-channel mix will be bounced to tape, either for its unique compression, or its "head bump" EQ, or for what it does to an image, particularly with small ensembles, jazz, or a vocalist with a couple instruments. I once saw an engineer bounce the mix to a Studer A80 just to run it through the Studer's electronics.

BTW, many of those 180g vinyl pressings we buy have been through digital at some point.

re: 24/96
No, you probably won't hear any difference between tracks at 16/44.1 and 24/96. However, if you start with 16/44.1 tracks and start editing, adding fades, EQ, reverb, or compression, you will hear it quickly degrade. I made that mistake once - it almost sounds like it falls apart.
