FYI, someone contacted their distributor and they posted a response: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/86vbk7/audiogd_response_to_yesterdays_measurements/
Since they say some version was deleted, I am going to quote it here:

My initial post got deleted, I hope this modified version doesn't break the rules, if it does - mods please message me what part I need to change. I think this discussion is very relevant to this sub.
So I talked to Jos from Magna Hifi (European Audio-GD distributor) about this! post from yesterday, because I was worried that my 28.38 was effected.
Here is his response:
"The NFB27.37 was not a good product and has been removed quite fast.
We are working on a review for the NFB28.38 which we already got measurements from which shows a total different picture!
The reviewer is also really negative and not quite right in his measurements and conclusions.
I think the reviewer really missed the plot and the measurements are nice dressup to speak really bad about Audio-GD products in general. Lets be honest, the reviewer did not even get the Amanero working. Why couldn't he? This USB interface is used by so many manufactures but the reviewer was able to say even something negative about about the USB interface while this is not even designed by Audio-GD!! "For this testing, I was hoping to measure both USB and S/PDIF performance. Alas, I could not get Windows 10 Creator's edition to recognize Audio-gd as a proper sound device. It would recognize it on "hot plug" but then error out in the device manager saying it needs additional installation"
Secondly measurements of course are important but it doesn't tell you anything how a specific device sounds. This is not unrelated completely but you can't take conclusions from measurements. To keep it simple: Have ever ever measured an Valve amplifier or a phono record player? If you measure them all you will throw them all in the bin according to the reviewers opinion. This is of course bull shit. Valve amplifiers can sound really nice and so do phono record players! Same goes for Audio-GD, it is completely designed around a non feedback amplifier and they do not measure brilliant but they do sound awesome! You can put a Class-D amp next to an Audio-GD amp. The measurements are great of the Class D amp but the sound isn't. Usually its clean and boring sound.
I personally would not bother too much about reviews. I would just open my ears and listen. Its a wonderful headphone / preamp dac, really amazing sound!"
He also linked a couple of positive reviews about the NFB28.38 which I can't post without breaking rule 5.
Interested to hear what the people of this sub think of this.
