0x42 0xF8 0x04 0x20 0x06 0xDC 0x05, so the first cluster is 0x05DC0620, but Winhax analyze the file's first cluster is 0xDC0620.

NTFS is not that straight forward as you might think. You forgot to apply the fixup values. The last two bytes of a sector need to be replaced with values of the fixup array. After that we arrive at the numbers WinHex presents.
In case you need a reference. I would like to recommend the book "File System Forensic Analysis" by Brian Carrier.
