Digital Format: Limit Of Resolution?

Regarding digital recording formats, what is the bit depth/sampling rate beyond which the human ear/body can no longer detect any improvement in quality?

Is there any reason to increase bit depth from 24-bit, and if so then how far? And is there any reason to increase sampling rate from 192kHz, and if so then how far?

Sorry this question is not exactly mastering-related! I put it here because I thought mastering engineers would be the ones most likely to know the answer. I am just curious, that is all.
