  | why not just connect the headphones into the headphone jack on your interface? You can also buy a headphone extender cable.

| Of course a headphone preamp is nice in that you can often mute monitors, make them mono, and otherwise power headphones without too many cables and adapters. Some like the HP4 even have a volume control for the monitors, so you can adjust both monitors the same amount with one front facing volume knob. And otherwise use cheaper headphone based speakers when you don't want the heat / power draw of your monitors. |

| If the interface winds up not being powerful enough, I can vouch for the usefulness of the Presonus HP4 mentioned by Shadow 7. It's got lots of headphone power, and it has a monitor pass-through (with a volume knob). You send the line level to the HP4 first, then out to the powered monitors. Very handy. |
