Well, two things I can offer. One: think back to when your system last sounded good and retrace your steps as to what you changed since then. This might give you some clues.
Two: I don't know about the MIT 330 II interconnects, but the original 330s sounded terrible in my system despite its many excellent reviews at the time. It was a highly capacitive cable that rolled the highs and constricted dynamics. I guess it worked well for folks with really bright sounding systems. Do you have other interconnects you could try?
As long as you're not going through the processor's processing circuitry, routing through the bypass shouldn't seriously degrade the sound. At least it doesn't in my HT system.
Hey, I know how it is to have good sound and then loose it and wonder where things went wrong. It can be very frustrating and aggravating. From the looks of things, you have a very complex system, but with a little methodical tinkering you should be able to restore the sound you liked originally.
