We've picked our horse and are riding it. We have pinned our colours to the Wandboard modular design, allowing us to take the CPU board and use it with our own daughter-board. The Utilite appears to be a "finished" product. Which as you say, if you just wish to use it as a platform for an external DAC will probably be fine, just plug it in to the USB or TOSLINK ports. I doubt there would be an issue using the CSOS image with it. You'd need to re-make it with a Utilite specific uboot and kernel. But I would expect someone with the necessary "skills" could modify the Wandboard CSOS image and make a CSOS Utilite image with little effort. Someone else, not me, will need to step up to the plate and do that.
