They used to sell a usb to DC cable, but now I can't find it. So you don't think it will work?

Best results from the RME forum have involved 12 volt batteries the kind of thing motorcycles use , they are available in lithium form these days but are still quite heavy .
Anyway I have not read any reports of sq improvement using battery power , RME originally designed it this way so the pro version could be used at live gigs with a lap top .

Do audeze or hifiman headphones work good with the rme amp?

Whats a good amp to compliment the rme adi 2.
Something around 1k$ used is fine, something that is friendly with lots of headphones

The Drop THX 789 or Monoprice THX 887 may be a good choice. Seems to be a popular pairing.

How does the thx amps compare to this Rupert Neve Designs RNHP amp when paired with the rme adi-2 dac?
Is it too clinical? Is it OK?

I believe that is an anniversary edition that was released by the company. It is not an end user mod. Only 500 units made.

Don't use glass, use PMMA instead and glue it in, or use double-sided adhesive tape.
