Correct!

Right now, before the John Swenson DAC board is released which will have
an electrical SPDIF output, the default Wandboard carrier board has a
TOSLINK out, but does not have a COAX SPDIF out.

The current audio (software) driver limits the output from the TOSLINK
to 48k. But if you wanted an electrical SPDIF out prior to the release
of the JS DAC carrier board, there are plenty of options for USB to
SPDIF converters that you could plug into the Wandboard USB port, so you
would be able to hook up your current DAC via electrical SPDIF.
