Unless 1/5 of the quorum demand a recorded or yeah/nay vote, a simple anonymous voice vote is all you get.
Then how is one man stopping this?

Any member can request a roll call vote after the voice vote, as I understand it. Which would require a quorum

He is not stopping anything.
Unanimous consent is a means of avoiding any vote at all. By objecting to unanimous consent, he is forcing ONE of the four formal voting procedures.
The FIRST of those is a voice vote. If he is the ONLY one screaming “nay,” he cannot force the NEXT type of vote (e.g. a record vote).
BUT, once a quorum is present, he MIGHT get a record vote if he can convince 1/5 of the quorum to demand one.
