The wandboard is two boards, a core CPU/memory module and a "carrier" board, with peripheral connectors etc.
My current thinking is to use the wandboard module as the cpu subsystem of our product. I will then design a carrier board which contains the DAC, low jitter clocks, headphone amp and S/PDIF amp. For now wandboard does not seem to be selling the modules as a separate item, but have stated that this will be the case in the future. So for now, and probably through Gen1, the users will have to buy a wandbaord, take the module out and put it in our carrier board. What makes the wandboard different is that they bring out almost every pin on the processor to the module connector which makes it possible to implement what I want to do with this. The CPU module is essentially exactly what I was going to do anyway, and because they are making a LOT more than we will, their price is quite a bit lower. Because of the module architecture I can still do everything I wanted to do with this design, with a lot less effort and money.
