Hi

 
I'm planning on using the above combo and need some advice from people that own it or are very familiar with the above.
All my music is on cd and I will use the format applelossless.
On a scale of 1-10(Loudest) I would normally listen to my music at about 4 turning it up to 7 once in awhile.
The phones are the Westone Um-3x.>>>>

Headphones Details:

1. Sensitivity: 124dB/mW, Frequency response: 20 Hz -18 kHz,, Impedance: 56 ohms
2. Driver: Three balanced armature drivers with a passive three-way crossover.
3. Soft padded pouch, replaceable Comply TM foam tips, and wax loop for cleaning. ( Foam Tips comes in Small, Medium and large sizes )
4. The UM3X is ultimate universal-fit musicians' monitor, perfect for the on-stage performer.
5. Equipped with a durable 50" stereo "Y" cord with a 3.5mm stereo jack

These headphones are very efficent and easy to drive so i should not have a problem with the above volume?
