Lots of good points and discussion here, but to me, this is the most important point. I read the original question as basically "I hear recordings that sound good - is it because they're recorded at higher sample rates?", and I'd say the answer is "no". If you have to even question whether something can be heard and what test conditions are valid, etc, then it's fairly irrelevant to most of us doing home recording. There are so many bigger factors that can be easily heard and affected.
