I actually had the same setup, Fiio E07k and the original M50!

The E07k actually sounds really nice and has just enough power. Never tried driving any planars from it though.

The Fiio has a bit of a softer sound in the details, but it's nice. When I upgraded to something "nicer", I actually missed the softer sound.

The differences are subtle though! If your budget allows, upgrade. But if I were you, I'd get used to the sound of the XS and Fiio for a while, you'll notice more of a difference if you are very familiar with the sound, as the upgrade will probably be very subtle.

Great advice! That's really cool you had the same setup. The XS sound amazing to me through the E07k so I'll just run this setup for a few months and then upgrade to the K7.
