AFAIK SOA on the wandboard is still viable, but there as several gothcas
now that Triode has not been around to maintain the project for six
months. The worst being the move to perl 5.22 for those who wish to run
the LMS server on their ARM device.  

I still have SOA running on my Raspberry Pi - Rev B+ which is used as a
player only, and I don't bother to keep updating the software. What you
use as an alternative to SOA for your Wandboard will depend on your
Linux skills and the time and effort you're are prepared to expend in
order to get something working. 

Possible choices that come to mind are: 

1. Stick with SOA, but be prepared to employ some workarounds.

2. Stick with ARCH linux but be prepared to install, configure and
troubleshoot everything from scratch.

3. Move to Fedora 22, use their  basic Wandboard image (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F22/Installation ) and
additionally make use of the armhfp repo at
http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/fedora/22/ 

4. Move to Debian 8, there may be some usable pre-built images here:
http://wiki.wandboard.org/index.php/Sdcard-images#DEBIAN

5. Use an official Ubuntu WB image - 
http://wandboard.org/index.php/downloads - install any additional
software ( See WB forums for any problems with official image)

6. Sell the Wandboard, invest in a RPi2 quad core and get a hifiberry
DIG+ card to use the optical inputs of your DAC. ( Assuming your DAC is
not USB only and coax input is better than USB input of your DAC).

Note: For 3 above, see JackOfAll's thread "Fedora LMS RPM packages, call
for testers... "  and ask if it's a workable solution.
