If clever noise shaping is used, 96/16 can sound almost as good as 96/24. I have done experiments with 96/12 which is only slightly worse and even 96/8 was acceptable, albeit like a noisy pre-recorded tape.
With a much higher sampling rate noise shaping works better. This is why DSD sounds good. DSD is nothing more than 2822/1 PCM, encoded using very clever noise shaping.
