Re: What you hear in the absence of signal is audio band EMI or noise.

I know that the way my amp is setup, the power transformer is somewhat nearby the output transformers, being in the same chassis, so the headphones pick up a slight residual hum, the speakers you dont hear it. My IC's are litz braided which are supposed to be really good in rejecting EMI and RF and stuff, but it appears by your post a shielded IC wouldn't help. The weird part is when nothing is plugged into the amp, with the inputs shorted, there is virtually no noise.
