I also bought the og Clear earlier this year. I don't think you will hear any noticeable improvement by upgrading the fiio e10k. Just keep using that and enjoy your new purchase! Just for reference, I run my Clear through Topping DX3 Pro+, and I really can't tell a difference between that and an Apple Dongle connected directly to my iPhone (other than having the headroom to go louder). If the e10k is transparent, it will be fine with the Clear. I think a better buy is an IEM for travel/office use.

In that case do you reckon I should buy something on the more affordable side that outputs in 1/4 inch or XLR so I can use one of the two cables? Is it worth getting something that outputs in XLR for balanced audio or is it just not worth it.

No, I don't think it's worth it. There is no difference between balanced and 1/4 inch through an adapter. Also, I doubt there's an audible difference even using a true balanced amp. I'm telling you man, your money is better spent on an IEM...
