Quark pair annihilation into gluons is suppressed at large momenta due to the asymptotic freedom. As a consequence, mass eigenvalues of heavy states should be almost diagonal with respect to up and down quark masses, thereby breaking isospin. We suggest the particle observed by the SELEX Collaboration, D_{sJ}(2632) to be to a good extent a [cd][dbar sbar] state, which would explain why its D^0 K^+ mode is anomalously suppressed with respect to D_s eta. Predictions for the rates of the yet unobserved modes D_s pi^0 and D^+ K^0 are given.
