You probably didn't blind it correctly, eg if you converted 24-bit to 16-bit then it has two levels of dithering and would naturally sound different. This guy

This guy seems to be doing an unblinded comparison between 16-bit, 24-bit, and DSD which is 2.8 MHz 1-bit. IIRC DSD converts to PCM at around 96KHz/20-bit, so comparing it to 192/24 is kind of funny.
But you can just look up dynamic range - 16-bit dithered audio is enough to record someone whispering in your ear while using a jackhammer without protection. That should be enough for music.
