Thanks for the advice.
I may not be a repairman, but I can check the circuit.
Using a multimeter, I traced the signal to the transformer only from pin number 3.
Pin number 2 is not traceable to the transformer I have written about this many times.
There is no reason for the interface to work without this connection, it is broken in a place where a resistor was not mistakenly installed.
I ask someone to send me either a detailed photo or the value of the resistor that stands in the place where I have only an empty area for it.
In my photo it is very detailed and you can see that the resistor is ABSENT!
A transformer that passes a signal through only one half just generates an unwanted signal in the second half.
This is not a DSD or PCM stream format issue. The crackling starts as soon as the 1st input of the DAC is turned on and any cable is plugged in (all cables are absolutely 100% working).
I have had experience repairing Audio GD products. Once I had a regenerator in DI20HE out of order and Kingwa recognized the problem only after the expert opinion of the service center in which its products are repaired. The second defect was very insidious and consisted in the fact that my R7HE 2018 lost contact with the master clock, while showing that it was connected. Also on this DAC, I ran into the problem of noise at the i2S input until the signal source gives the first data. Kingwa later patched this defect with firmware, never acknowledging the problem.
I have had many devices from this master in my hands, so I know both their qualities and their problems.
Now the only question is whether someone will decide to help in my problem and open the lid or search the archives for high-quality photos of the insides, or we will continue to talk about what cannot be, because AGD is not mistaken.
