If you are a student the most important aspect is that your interface (and the included DSP) will work well with Ableton and Protools. So, if you already have a Focusrite interface that is supported in Protools, I'd suggest trying that with your new headphone first?
If the Focusrite delivers too little level for your headphone -- or you find that you're disappointed by the sound quality -- you can always use the line-outs of the Focusrite to connect it e.g. with an O2 or a Schiit Magni to drive the headphone better. Most likely the DAC part in the Focusrite will be just fine (and it is a very convenient interface with the inputs etc.)

AudiospiderThanks man, yeah interface seems to work OK with both softwares, sometimes problematic with ProTools. Headphone signal is however bit weak, so maybe an amp. My problem with my setup seems to be noise which I think is a grounding issue, that I can't seem to resolve, resulting in a lot of buzz on my speakere.

MCpeakThe way I see it is you can either get some cans that are easier to drive, or add a better amp into the chain. For around $100 you can pick up some OK cans, or you can build/buy a decent amp.
Since you're studying audio, I'll presume you're not afraid to bust out the soldering iron so I recommend this guy as it's the only thing I've found that can be had at around $100 that I can get to drive HD6xx decently: http://pmillett.com/butte.htm

HeeftyUnfortunately my course doesn't entail much if anything on the hardware side of things other than the basics and mic placement and mixing desk signal flows. But I appreciate the advice!
