So... What about E07K with this?

Not Possible To Dock over K5.
If there is 'Line Out' available at E07K then it is possible to connect via 'Line In' port at K5.
Fiio's facebook site just listed the K5 as being shipped to it distributors. It should be available for purchase in February.
Finally, it's going to be available.
A quick search online reveals that b&H Photo has it available for preorder in the US of A:

One thing I like about the K5 is how quickly it charges my X7, much faster than the wall chargers thats for sure.

How much does it improve the sound of the X7. Do you think you could provide a brief review. That would be great.
I already covered that in my first impression post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/740441/k5-fiios-new-docking-desktop-amp-how-do-you-like-it-update-2015-07-06-final-design-published/120#post_12223533
Keep in mind, it's a comparison to X7 IEM module, and with other amp modules the difference could be subtle.
Do you think it's worthwhile then to purchase the K5, if the difference in sound is subtle
Maybe it depends on your headphones? For example, I have a portable headphones with lower impedance, so I am using those when I am taking m X7 outside - IEM amp module is perfectly fine to power those and there is no need to upgrade.
However, for inside listening, I have headphones with higher impedance so they need a little bit more juice, hence the K5 is suitable choice (for my use case). Another choice would be to change to higher amp module - but the price of other amp module is comparable to K5, and K5 is simply more powerful AMP plus it also charges the device.
Another example - if I'd use same pair of headphones, indoors/outdoors, which would be perfectly driveable with IEM amp module, the K5 purchase wouldn't make sense to me.
