In my cMP based HTPC if I went for the gigabyte mobo and E7200 do you think my Thermaltake "Dual Power" 520/380W PSU, which I only use fanless so 380W max, will be sufficient for the best SRC upsampler in cPlay?

Yes. My reference setup uses the Zalman TNN-300. PSU is fanless at 350watts and system has been running 7x24 since Fri 21h00. Gigabyte/E7200 seems to consume even less power doing 24/96 upsampling at 145db SNR. Unfortunately, I don't have a power measuring device.
Does the fan in your Coolermaster get on your nerves at all? You once said you would get the MGE Magnum 500W fanless. I never could find it in Europe at all, but I just saw it for sale in the US for $38.99, special promotion:

I use it in my second cMP which outputs analogue directly to powered speakers. Very quiet fan and its not bothersome. MGE was very good (with a handy power gauge). This post points to the best PSU I've seen to date.
