I finally got my hand on one of Audio-GD's Digital interface.
Since they both used the same USB receiver chip, the result should be similar.
But it's not! At least not on my NFB-12:
NFB12's USB receiver, with the same driver, recorded by the same recorder. Both my RME's optical & Audio-GD's Digital Interface got 96kHz properly.
However, my NFB12's USB receiver got serious cut-off after 24kHz.
If it's driver or my foobar's setting error, it should be the same with Audio-GD's Digital Interface, but it's not.
So the problem would be something wrong from NFB12's USB receiver to DAC.
That does seem like a bad thing, but do you honestly expect to hear anything at all at those frequencies? As long as it's flat until about 18kHz (and it is) it doesn't matter what happens after that. In fact, playing back the high/low frequencies that you can't hear in addition to those you can hear will only be a source of distortion.
