I am talking about how changing a noun into an adverb changes the pronunciation of a single vowel to a different vowel.
Aye, that's why I gave examples of schwa sounds: it's a different vowel.
I see.

Honestly, I don't think it's actually true. Perhaps in some regional accents... I don't know as British pronunciation is bizarre - although I'd assume that it would be consistent across both forms, but in the South, it's DINasty, diNAStic - no difference in the 'i' sound.
Or phonetically:
/ˈdɪnəsti/
/dɪˈnæstɪk/

You're probably right, I was just going by what the Cambridge dictionary claimed about the differences in pronunciation.
