If a converter sounds better at higher rates, can you keep that quality with an optimum software SRC in post as opposed to record directly at 44.1kS/s or is it about HF content and filter limitations.

It's cheaper to design & build a converter to sound good at 88.2/96 than it is to make it sound equally as good at 48/44.1.
Bob Katz explains it much better than I can in the 2nd edition of his excellent book
Bob Katz - Mastering Audio
Symptoms can include any or all of these:
higher distortion, ripple, ringing (*) and aliasing.
* = this one is very common in poorly designed Linear Phase SRC too
As far as actual HF content goes, can you honestly hear above 22kHz?
