One possibility I've been considering is ESPRESSObin. They were on Kickstarter, apparently they're shipping now (Amazon link), with a subreddit, r/espressobin. ARM, 2 GbE LAN 1 eth WAN, SATA, up to 1GB DRAM.
Seems like you already made your decision so let me still add my opinion about the topic for anyone else that comes across this question.
Odroid C2 is a better option for an Media Center if you're not utilitzing the USB-Ports for NAS storage and the like (since it's just USB2.0). Produces less heat and Mainline Kernel made good progress lately (4.16 got HDMI support) - it's still not there yet but it will get to a working state sooner of later I'd say (keep in mind the old 3.x Kernel is stable and has working HW Video-Encoding support).
Both of them have Hardware en/decoding, C2 ever since Kernel 3.x and XU4 just recently trough the Mainline-Kernel. I've read about some stability issues with Kernel 4.9 especially regarding video-decoding but I'm not sure about that better research about that yourself (not trying to make the XU4 seem like a bad unit).
If you go for the C2 be sure to NOT go for the microUSB PowerPlug since that not only brings no overcharge protection but also increases heat signinficantly. For both of them you want actually have good WIFI Dongle if you want to utilize WIFI - I'd hands down recommend either the RTL8811AU if you want an small dongle without an external antenna (utilizing the RTL8812AU driver) or the RTL8812AU if you want an dongle with external high-gain antennas. The RTL8811AU is less power hungry, as such won't make your device break down if there is a sudden spike in power consumption as the network conditions get worse.
If you want an NAS like SBC with an eSata port and an Marvel SOC that actually has HW AES support inbuild (performance is better then XU4 with Cloudshell) then go for the ESPRESSObin. Tough I don't know how good their Media Player ability is. I'd recommend the HC1/2 in that case for their passive cooling trough their frame - otherwise if you really need raid go for the CloudShell.

Bottomline of the story - you can't have everything.
