I thought so. IIUC it's the altsetting 4 with bmFormats 0x800000 reported by the device. What would happen if the host driver selected this altsetting?DSD isn't supported, just because it is PCM converted to DSD inside the ES9822.
Actually should the device fail to switch from fullspeed to highspeed, the effects may be like those reported. Checking the actual device speed in linux is with 'lsusb -t', no idea if it works on OSX too but you can try.Well then your isolation chain does not seem to work correctly, at high speeds.
Nor at low speeds...Well then your isolation chain does not seem to work correctly, at high speeds.

For last tests I did not use that cable - just straight commercial cables. Also, I tried with and without power added to via the isolator.
Yes, the whole ting is uncharted waters it seems. So many parameters...
I feel that it is strange that you get garbled analog audio - usually digital don't work like that.... its ,mote like on or off 😉

USB checks parity bit for each USB frame. If the frame is corrupted, it's dropped - causing missing data in the stream. I have had a few bad cables which caused currupted -> dropped packets. Since your device requests/sends packets every 125us (bInterval = 1), some dropped packets do not cause total loss of the stream, but an audible corruption.

The cpal-listdevices tool always shows float32 on macOS, it's not useful for listing what formats the hardware supports. The easiest way to see that is in Audio Midi setup. It only lets you select formats the device supports.
I guess that isolator using AD ADUM3165 it's not fast enough for your data flow.I have tried the Isolator between an RME Digiface and a Mac Mini - it works and sound OK
I don't know how it is connected with Mac Mini, but it could be a false positive.
Okey, so here comes the resolution of the case...
I just changed this one cable and everything works like a charm.
Thanks for the support and learning along the way!!
Here it is... never thought there could be such a difference with a USB cable... such low speed also... well, well...
Replaced by another no fancy black one from I don't know where....
Crazy....

- I had turned the isolator backwards... how could I... 🙂
- Yellow IKEA USB-A / USB-micro is no good.

It's a joke?I guess that isolator using AD ADUM3165 it's not fast enough for your data flow.
