I just turned on the Stax O2s again today. I left the DAC turned off and there is still hum which is most prominent on the right driver. I'm not sure if it's the transformer or my wall.

 
Have you tried a cheater plug?

Excuse my ignorance but is that safe with electrostatic amps?

I don't know that it's any less safe than anything else. Cheater plugs are unsafe by definition, even a traditional amp can really hurt or even kill you if the chassis goes live. I would not suggest using one as a permanent ground loop fix, but it might help you nail down your problem.
