Bought the 5000 and just installed the new unit today. The two dedicated circuits for the power amplifiers really take control of the D440s adding power, drive and articulation. An easy and positive upgrade to my ears.
Garth Powell, the designer, is an EE with a long history of real work in the electronic industry...no fairy dust here. He is available by email and quickly answered a few questions I had.
To your query...no hum on this unit nor on the loaner demo I had in house. I have read that it was some samples, accordingly a few, of the larger 7000 that exhibited a hum. Mine is silent and surprising not hot or warm to the touch.
