Thinking of going the whole hog and speccing an i7 with plenty of RAM and 2TB SSD.
Would be small and fanless and won't get that hot.

FWIW I am using an Intel NUC, with sixth generation i5 CPU and 16 GB of RAM and it works great, doesn't break a sweat with upsampling, et al. The 16GB of RAM is overkill as 8GB would work fine.
I have it stuffed with both an M.2 drive and a SSD drive. It does have a fan but I don't hear it, though I should note it is NOT in the same room as my D440s or speakers.
