Hi everyone!

I am wondering if the combination of the westone um3x, ipod classic and a Alo Rx amp is a good combination? If you have any better suggestions, please let me know

I am looking for a wide, clear sound with a tight bass and sparkling heights, but it is important for me that it is balanced. I am thinking of using lossless files.

Well I can definitely recommend the UM3Xs then
But hmm you don't HAVE to use a LoD but anyone here (well, almost anyone) will tell you that if you're using iPods and an amp, shell out the extra money for a LoD (suggestions for that quality will vary between members though, but IMO don't spend over 150), to hook up to the amp.
The LoD is going to give you a cleaner sound than straight out of the headphone jack; it's going to be "stronger" as well. IMO it sounds better in every aspect; although it's not AMAZINGLY better, it is a plus that iPods have.

I don't really know about the quality of audio from the ALO Rx so I'm not going to comment on that but that sounds like a good setup to me.
