Peak limited "white" noise generator

Before ditching an audio effects unit Boss DD6 ( main 100 pin BOSS chip
failed)
I wanted to see if the DAC was still working . I cut data-in line, pin 4 of
DAC AK4352VT from the main Boss chip and connected , via 1K, to pin 9 , data
out of the ADC AK5353VT.

Feeding sine in the datastream varies on frequency. No data into the DAC
then nothing out. Connect datastream and there is 2V peak limited white
noise on the analogue outputs, left and right channels. Varying sine input
or even disconnecting makes no observable difference to the noise output.
Scope shows no obvious periodicity 100Hz to 100KHz, and sounds like white
noise.
Other select lines are still connected but what , in principle, is occuring
?

Uh ? Do you have an I2S source ( that's the most likely intereface - a serial
type ).
