The wandboard carrier boards do not contain coax SPDIF, just TOSLINK SPDIF. Which was nit done correctly on the board that shipped with the duals. They fixed the board and that is what ships with the quad. The CSP carrier boards have both coax and TOSLINK SPDIF interfaces. The general release boards (CSP2 and up) will be available either as just a carrier board, or as a fully assembled plug and play configuration. If you have already bought a wandboard you can get a CSP2 carrier board only and move your existing CPU module to the CSP carrier board. You will also need to buy a case and do the final assembly yourself. (it's 8 screws) The beta CSP1 board will only be available as a carrier board. The software supports TOSLINK on both the wandboard and CSP boards, and coax on the CSP boards, BUT the outputs on the CSP boards will be much better. The outputs are ground isolated and reclocked with an ultra low jitter clock. The coax output is also properly impedance matched to 75 ohms with a true 75 ohm output jack. Ultra low noise regulators are used for the outputs.
