The first thing I would try to determine is whether or not the quality of the source material is the problem. Perhaps the deficiencies of the particular recordings you have listened to since the upgrade are being more accurately reproduced.
Beyond that, although I have no experience with any of your components, fwiw the next item on my suspicion list would be the built-in DAC in the Touch. So it seems quite conceivable to me that the Minimax will help.
