Bit rate is one thing. Having a higher bit rate lowers your noise level for each track. Useful for audio engineering and mastering. And even then well recorded 16bit files would still be fine with noise levels unlikely to be an issue.

For sampling rate, there is no need to go higher than 44.1/48kHz according to the Nyquist theorem.

Nyquist theorem has been put into question more recently iirc.
DSD for one showing some ABX test results to not be entirely conclusive.
