I can second the recommendation for the NASPi 2.0. I've had one running as my music server for just 2 years now, and it's a very good piece of kit. I'm running 2 instances of MinimServer on a Pi 4B 2GB, booting from microSD, and with a 512GB Lexar SSD for music files. I have the fan connected, with its control utility, and it's pretty much silent, keeping the CPU around 50degC.
GeekWorm also have the DACPi, which houses a Pi 4B with a large passive heatsink and a side-mounted PCM5122 DAC HAT, which I have been using with moOde for nearly a year. I have used a number of PCM51xx DACs, including the TAS5756 with Class D power amp, and never heard anything unpleasant between tracks.
