Can someone quickly go over the pros/cons of Mixamp rx5.8 double amping w/Fiio E11?

I am somewhat confused how two amps would work together with their independent volume levels. Currently my Mixamp 5.8 is paired with a 32ohm AKG K550 and they are mostly plenty loud but to achieve the loudness I desire, hissing does occur at the 70% volume mark.
 
1)Would adding a portable Fiio E11 give me a noticeable quality/sound boost without hiss?
2)Would I level the mixamp at just before hissing occurs then pump up the volume on the Fiio E11?
3)I haven't bought the Fiio yet, is this the best, small, portable amp (without dac) under $150?
4)Is this double-amping recommended or does it hurt sound quality?
 
Thx!
