do you lose audio quality converting 24bit 96khz music to 16bit 44khz?

Yes, too obviously.

You should use the DSPs in this order:
Resample (to 44KHz)
Set Bit Depth (to 16 bit, dithered)
This preserves as much quality as possible in 16 bit

44-48khz should be the limit btw any music in 96khz or 192khz just sound awful!
But only if the source has been recorded with that sample rate and bit depth, or if the analogue source has been digitized in such a way. Audio CDs (Red Book Standard) are limitied to 16bit and 44,1kHz (only exeptions are the rare HDCD).
Upsampling will never increase the quality of a signal. Downsampling will reduce the quality of a signal in most cases.

If y'all like 96khz and 192khz good for y'all lol but to me that is overkill and to my ears the music doesn't sound right when the sample rate go beyond 48khz
The bread and bones of digital audio quality can be found in this video.
More direct to the main question is this article.
I'm listing these from the same source because no one else seems to talk about all the relevant aspects in such a concise way.
