This may be able to cope and it should run ROCK. My askrock Deskmini 310 does. Be aware though that ROCK on anything else than a 5th, 6th or 7th gen NUC is not officially supported.
8th gen i5 or i7 will run on an H310 motherboard which may run ROCK with the latest update (wich enables i219 NICs).
Else go for an i9 9900K. That will surely do DSD512 upsampling.
