What has definitely changed is what you hear - your *perception* of the soundfield generated by the system. After you switched off iTunes integration (not really expecting any difference), you did indeed perceive a difference. And so quite reasonably you sought an explanation. It seems logical to you to assume the difference must be due to some change made to the system, and you homed in on the fact that iTunes integration has been switched off.
But there are other explanations for why you perceive a difference in what you hear. Human hearing varies day-to-day, even minute-to-minute, and is affected by all kinds of external factors. It is overwhelmingly more likely that you initially heard a difference due to some other factor (such as your physiological state at the time) rather than any change to the stereo system. But because you have internally correlated it with the change to iTunes integration, that belief has become part of your mental world model.
