Thanks... Obvious the HD 800S will sound thin comparing to the Abyss beast you have (which I've not tried, but read a lot here about)I put the switch to off right after the comparison and didn't notice much of a difference. Will leave it in the off state going forward unless I continue to run into hum. I did try the 800S the other day with the Volot and it drives it well and provides some good rumble in the bass. I don't listen to the 800 much as I find it thin sounding compared to my other headphones but the Volot does a fine job with them.
I don't usually sell gear as I like to hoard it so I can make comparisons for people. I'm starting a new job soon so it will make funding the next dac a bit easier
I still don't understand why you put the ground "off" instead of letting it on...
