As for me, I do my rips in a 44.1/16 format and have never claimed that higher resolution and sampling frequency may be beneficial for vinyl rip quality.
I'm convinced, as an electronics specialist and scrupulous listener, that properly performed digital conversion absolutely doesn't worsen the original analogue signal, otherwise I wouldn't spend time and efforts to rip all 300 LPs of my vinyl collection.
I don't ignore post-conversion processing, although prefer to do clicks elimination manually.
Excessive vinyl disc noise, whether originated from a noisy master tape or acquired in the course of vinyl pressing, isn't a problem, I cure it with the help of an original noise reducer just after the phono preamplifier, operation of this device is demonstrated at the mentioned above site.
