That’s because your device is not faultyThat's not what I'm saying.

I said earlier there are some manufacturers who save on QC.

Thx, I might cut the L8 in half and order two hdmi connectors (see picture) from Ali.
so I can make two 0,5m cables, one default and one with the custom (Gustard) pin-out:
ET3(pin) / label / Gustard(pin)
1 / data/dsdr- / 9
3 / data/dsdr+ / 7
7 / lrck/dsdl- / 3
9 / lrck/dsdl+ / 1
15 / f_mute / 16 (nc)
16 / f_dsd / 15
