It could be a solder joint. Possibly in the usbridge. If so, it will be an easy fix. If in the di20he, should be able to take care of it also. No problem. You are right about solder joints. But when using good silver solder, it minimize the issue. Also, the first 10-20 hours with a fresh joint are no good. After that, they are not an issue really IMO. Otherwise, count the number of joints in a r7he, it would be disastrous ....are you sure you are looking at THAT much capacitance in a cable? IMO a cable that suffers from charge / discharge effects has no place in audio. My vote is a cold solder joint )try avoid solder alltogether, many brands now have good screw contacts' or a connector issue.
Long ago, during our early days of creating interlinks as paret of our research we listened to a bare wire, cut it and joined it by twisting and compared against a solder joint...I avoid solder joints ever since (where possible), best alternatiove is a twist and then solder but with cable connectors usually all you can do is use a puddle of solder as glue..
