Problem solved!
 
The dtb file is wrong on newer Kernels after 5.3.9
There is an added option called dai-tdm-slot-width (description) in the sound category which is set to high (0x20). When you set this to 0x10 (decimal 16, I think 16Bit for audio!?) the Sound is in normal speed.
There is another typo, I think, in line 897 phy-names is set to "phy" but the name of the phy is "hdmi-phy" so its in old dtb's too.
Corrected dts for Orange Pi PC in attachment.
Please test this on other boards...
EDIT: Confirmed on sunvell R69 1.3 with Kernel 5.5.0cr2

5.5 rc2
@guidol  thank you for rom
@nylonatathep  thank you for fix usb
I try flash to emmc . flash time 3 minutes
emmc flash finish but don't boot

@nylonatathep Very good! This works as well for the original "red PCB"-Version (and should become the default when compiling armbian within a day or two).
 

USB on the back does not work => Information:
 
I compiled Armbian (Bionic, 5.5.0rc2) and tested it on my r69 h2 ver. 1.3 blue PCB with nothing special.
Everything works fine except the USB on the back.
After some investigation I checked the dtb file and there is the back-USB port configured as OTG.
I dont' know if is this a bug or a feature but if you want to use both USB you have ti change the dtb file.
After decompile change line 322 in dtb from "otg" to "host", compile it again and replace the orginal file in /boot
I added the corrected dts and the compiled dtb file for Kernel 5.5.0rc2.

Okay, succsess! The images are okay for LaFrite.
Was my fault
There was an error message that only appeared on screen not on UART messages. That message says that one module file cannot be loaded (bad ELF header)...
After some investigaton I testet my USB drive's an both of them have some bad sectors and these are not affected when I flash a minimal image.
I think they are corrupted between the many new flashes by testing the images.
When I use an new USB drive erverything is booting correctly with 5.3 and 5.4 Images but with 5.4 there is no Audio.
Thanks for your work and the help with the console output etc.
 

Tested with Nexbox A95X S905x 1GB (meson-gxl-s905x-nexbox-a95x.dtb) and Magicsee N5 S905x 2GB  (meson-gxl-s905x-p212.dtb) and Buster Desktop Image
 
Dev 20191118 on both Boxes boot OK

Thanks goes to @Neil Armstrong and BayLibre, they've been handling mainlining Amlogic.  I simply curate any additional patches and keep things playing nice with the build system.

A very thank you to TonyMac32 and the great Armbian comunity!
 
I've compiled the desktop image with no special options (just select the target) and everything is running very nice.
The CPU clock is set to max 1.5 GHz, slightly overclocked but it runs without headsink around 50-60 °C on high loads the temperatur rise up to around 65-68 °C in my case.
OpenGL (glxgears) and Gles2 (es2gears) runs fine, even the WebGL in Chromium is supported.
Video is not HW accelerated in included mpv and Chromium, I think there are any patches needed, but its ok at the moment.
 
I have only one problem, there is no audio. Only the DummyOutput is present. aplay -l says no soundcards found...
dmesg has no message related to "sound" or "audio". USB soundcard works pretty well but is not that great experiene
 
Can someone give me a hint to get sound working? load missing modules etc.?
 
For easy testing, the image i compiled can be downloaded here (7zip file): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Xl-4_R1aolxJMZFqlZdb0voNxOxbJ4PC
