Did he say that as just a general comment? Or was it a direct
observation about your files?

If the 2nd, and there is some noise problem, I seriously doubt it was
introduced during your bit depth conversion.

If it's the first, all I can say is I doubt it, nor have I ever heard
of it. But considering Adobe cheats a bit with regard to high bit,
conversions to and from could be somewhat less straightforward in PS
than one might think.
