But surely the difference is 16 vs 24 and nothing to do with the sample rate?

The larger problem with 44.1 is

But it depends what you're sourcing from. If you source 44.1 then you will have a worse recording if you change it to 192. If you source at 48k then you just waste samples. If you’re recording analog inputs at 192k in a crappy adc then you will have a worse outcome than a good adc at 48k (or 44.1k)

Same with bit depth - the adc is far more important.
