I have used the uDAC2 and the Nuforce icon. It seems like they went to the next level with this one. Seems interesting.

Last fm, googling for internet radios, and recommendations from guys on forums. 
Pre/Amp/Int for Vandersteen 2ce Sig II for +/-$3k

Coda CSIb - what loudspeaker would be perfect?
I agree with Herman. Try different combinations and choose the one you like the most. 
is the simaudio celeste 4150se still a good amp?
From what i know its a very musical amp..clean and detailed. IMO, it lacks on bass punch. I haven't compared it to the ones you mentioned. 
Preamp for Pass Labs XA30.5
If you can find a Burson PRE-160 (used) it would be a nice match. Even on the colors, both are silver. ;)

Imo, upgrading is a logical step. There are good amps for the Sennhs on the market. How much are you willing to spend?
