I think this is a dangerous area to generalize in. Perfect converters would most likely sound the same at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and above because there is no theoretical reason for them not to.

Unfortunately, we are all stuck using a variety of less than perfect converters. My guess would be that in many situations, the advantage of higher sample rates ought to be in inverse proportion to converter quality. In the end, we all need to go with what actually sounds best using our own converters and this can be expected to vary all over the map with different combinations of gear. This is why I harp on monitoring so much.
