Are there modestly priced computers with good enough analogue circuitry
to work with 24/96 files?


Pretty much any PC withreasonable performance - say 1Ghz processor and 256MB
RAM - can do 24/96. You need a capable sound card. I've not used any
high-resolution internal cards . the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 can be had for
about £60 including VAT, and there are others.

When I was getting the hardware, I decided it would be convenient to have
external equipment to work with a laptop. I settled on the Soundblaster
Audigy NX, which works fine.
