Sigh, I need to remember to never read the YouTube comments on @Techmoan videos. There is *always* a huge misguided discussion about analog vs. digital that raises my blood pressure. Your argument is invalid unless you have ABX tests to back it. Hint: digital does.
16 bit allows more than 96dB dynamic range (watch that Xiph video, he demonstrates it). Using oversampling to ease ADC/DAC filter design is an implementation detail of ADCs/DACs; for the actual PCM audio representation, 44kHz is sufficient.

I know well the technique (I have used 24 bit ADCs such as CS5361 that internally are 1-bit with 192+ kHz oversampling). I could do the maths, but I don't think 44100 Hz are enough to cover e.g 120 dB that a good ear can hear).

Read https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html … (grep for 120dB if you must). In practice, 16 bits is more than enough for any practical situation.
