Goodness, I feel quite silly now - it was the insertion depth all along...
Turns out the 47labs plugs are too short to reach far enough into the RCA sockets; and those sockets in both the Topping DAC and the Fosi amp have their (main?) contact area fairly far in, further inside than the older amps I have here and have used before with those plugs.
Thanks a bunch, mate, your comment on insertion depth pointed me in the right direction!
Of course I should have figured it out right at the beginning, it's the most stupid mistake one can make, but I just didn't think a plug that was working totally fine for years could have such a basic compatibility issue.

Here's an image of my quick and dirty test cable, using heat shrink tubing; I'll get some teflon tubing and do it properly.
