Each of the 3.5mm sockets has a GND terminal and as soon as a connection is made to external equipment a GND loop may occur. If the rails are connected to GND/Earth or not is not that important (though they are finally also connected to GND/Earth via the front panels as soon as m

The hum is probably caused by a ground loop. Due to safety reasons all metal parts of the A-100 cases are connected GND AND to earth shield of the mains connector. If another component in your system (e.g. mixer, power amplifier ...) is connected in the same way a ground loop is
