Not to put words in his mouth, but with the Mac, I don't think he's talking about hum as in noise. The Mads (at least the ones I've used) are very quiet for PC audio. Heck, they're very quiet period. I think what he's talking about, rather, is a bass-heavy tone signature and a softness in the bottom end that makes bass notes hang, in some material making for an almost constant low-end background tone.
I hear it, too. I thought it was a combination of flabby bass from low-power op ams and the natural warmth of my Senn 580s (and it may be), but I hear it.
