Thanks you where too quick for me, I was doing the edit 🙂
When you say "with the current driver it is fully supported" what do you mean fully supported?
How would the code be written to control the ES9018?
I also have relays etc that need to be controlled for switching power can this be done via the BBB etc.
Of course my main issue will be it the BBB doesn't have a controller for the SSD.
BBB can be programmed the same way as the HiFiduino is.
With "fully supported" I've meant that BBB does nothing at the moment, thus HiFiduino can be connected.
Yes, the BBB has many GPIO pins to control other things as various switches, but this is not supported by "Botic driver" linux image yet.

Thanks,
I haven't rushed out and bought a BBB as yet (been very tempted) I live in hope they will add a SATA input in the next version 🙂
Why would you want SATA?
There are plenty of NASes (Network Attached Storage) and BBB can connect to them via Ethernet network.
The only disadvantage is you do not have single device, but more.

I guess I'm a bit of a dinosaur, I do most (95%) of my listening in bed and like to turn everything off before I retire. Being able to have the music on my main system in the bedroom is my preference. I would also have the music on the computer as a backup. Theoretically I could probably do the music exchange (sync) via the WiFi as I rip or download music.
Please be aware of early discussions on this subject (Feb 2014)
Thanks, I am aware of the comments, if the SATA control becomes available I will probably build a prototype and try both methods to compare. No rush though, got plenty of projects finish and to tidy up.

I suggest looking at another SBC instead like fi. Banana Pro: Banana Pro | Banana Pi | Open source platform makes more possibilities.
Note: Software will be a problem.
I'd rather try these from Olimex: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/
But, those Allwinner CPUs used there are not compatible with Botic hardware or its driver. A different audio platform is used there, check the following summary: CUBIEBOARD FOR AUDIO? | H i F i D U I N O

Why not just use something like this? Network Audio Renderer | ABC PCB
Let me guess, because you cannot buy them DIY 🙂

The BeagleBone Black-based device under discussion here is a music server + renderer.
The Edel board is a renderer only.

np.
one one hand you have an closed upnp renderer
on the other a fully functional, flexible stand alone linux sistem
for example if you want to control the dac thru i2c you cannot do it with the renderer, same thing applies to screen output, change the actual player etc... but it adds a little bit of complexity (little depending how well you are used to console commands and linux in general)
on the other hand the renderer is almost plug and play, apart from upnp server configuration
Thanks gentlemen,
There been a rush (2 🙂 ) of them in Swap Meet forum, so it looks like you can buy them direct if one so chooses.

The chip used in that device is neither compatible with BeagleBone Black nor Botic cape or driver... 🙂
But, that 400EUR price in the FS is a much more than I've expected (EDIT: I see now it included the DAC) - http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-meet/250045-network-media-renderer-dac-abc-pcb.html
