I had them both, 660S is more detailed and energetic sounding but not as warm as the 6XX in the midbass. However the 660S doesn't have the natural timbre and smoothness of the 6XX/600 and also the treble tuning bothers me a bit, since above 10k they definitely need EQ since they sound too recessed. With EQ they are the best objectively of the 6x0 line (if you don't mind a bit more artificial timbre). I personally love the 600 the best as my absolute reference headphone for tuning or just overall enjoyment, they just sound the most natural to my ears.

I thought I was going to miss the bigger knob of my Schiit amp when I got the ADI-2, but honestly I much prefer the smaller, endless turning, knob, it just feels so smooth.

Glad you are enjoying yours. I 100% agree, this unit is amazing, probably endgame for me as well!

90% or so of the time, I'm doing something else and I have music on the background. I'm probably only active listening 10% of the time, where I just sit down and do nothing but enjoy the music

The RME ADI-2 is a fantastic piece of gear. If you want an upgrade that is significant enough you'll have to go spend 10 grand or something like that. One nice thing to do is to buy a powerbank with a similar size (so it can stack) and a 15 volt output, you'll have endgame on the go!
