I've recently been considering upgrading to a Banana pi (SATA support for internal HDD for music storage) but not sure if the Hifiberry DAC is going to work on it. Does anyone have any experience / ideas?

  Dear Paul,
  
  all Raspberry Pi "compatible" boards that use a more powerful processor than the Raspberry Pi are NOT compatible with our boards. Not only the software driver is not there, but also the sound interface itself is missing on these boards. As there is no way to access the CPUs sound interface on these boards, there won't be any HiFiBerry cards for these.
  
  However for music playback, the Raspberry Pi is powerful enough. I agree that adding an USB hard disk is not the most elegant way, but unfortunately there is no other option.
  
  Best regards
  Daniel
