Your sentence / question is not fully understandable, please rephrase, thanks.
I think sanje74 is asking if it is necessary to have a headphone amplifier in order to accurately mix tracks on headphones.
Unless the headphones in question require a amplifier (ie very high impedance ones) I would say no.
Its very difficult to say / judge if he does not give any details, what equipment he uses
"You dont need a Rolls Royce to drive from A to B".
Also important would be information what style he is mixing / mastering. In electronic music, R&B, dubstep you have to work with deep frequencies. Its challenging to get the room proper for that, in such cases good phones can help. But these cost alone > €1600 and not each headphone is really able to reproduce these frequencies, i.e. LCD-X.
For normal semi-professional requirements (and this seems to be the case here) otherwise
an acoustically optimized room would be out of question, the headphone preamps of RME
interfaces are IMHO sufficient.
If he has very expensive headphones or headphones which require a phones preamp with high output,
then the addition of an ADI-2 Pro could be adviced, if its not loud enough or if listening experience can
be improved by the ADI-2 Pro (to be tested by own rehearsal).
Besides of this the ADI-2 Pro has generally some cool features that you can become used to ...
But even if his room is not acoustically optimized I would not exclude to also use Near field monitors
with a narrow sweet spot so that he could cross check the sound with normal monitors and
also phones to completely exclude the room.
At the end it also depends on skills, the sound materials quality and how much money you can spend on your "hobby".
There are some Tools to simulate The behavior of speakers in a room. To reduce the extreme separation of headphones etc.

I think there is also a hardware solution (headphoneamp), but i don‘t remember the name or brand.
But the best way is to know your headphones.
Hear as often you can with them (not only your own material) , and don‘t be too shy with panning in your mixes.

first of all thanks for answering.., i mean the output of the ufx ( for monitors) and output for (headphones) are equel detailed..?
because someone says me if i want to mix with headphones i need to to connect headphones to main outputs(output wicth we use for the monitors.. not headphone out..mmmh do i explained..?.. yhanks

i excuse for my english.. :-).. to headphone mix, i mean do i need to connect headphones to main outputs(output wicth we use for monitors) or it's correctly ok to use just headphone output..seems to be stupid question but ...don't know ... wanted to know the way that the audiocard release the delails from the both of outputs are the same...? thank you very much..Ramses
