Does the drift happen when you are playing the same file (make sure the 'instant doubles' is off in the Setup > Playback screen).

Just doublechecking the MASTER TEMPO button on the CDJ 800s are off.

Can you please test by sliding the calibration slider 3/4 of the way to the right on both sliders and seeing if your pitch holds?
