This is not completely true. Some devices running at 96 and 192 kHz
have sharp a-a filters at both frequencies, but others have good
filters at 96 kHz and very smooth (bad) filters at 192 kHz. In some
192 kHz devices I also found a frequency response smoothly falling
above 40-50 kHz.

Thus it is important to carefully test the devices before completely
trusting in their specifications.

I'll try to publish some tests soon.
