Installing DVS is usually "Next, Next, Finish." But the Standalone installation of 4.4.1.3 forces you to confront the or macOS Security prompts like a gladiator.
Designed as a straight, high-performance highway between a single audio application (like a DAW) and a hardware Dante network. It requires dedicated hardware endpoints to route to. Audinate - Dante Virtual Sound Card - DVS-4.4.1.3 STANDALONE

Once installed, DVS presents itself to your system exactly like a hardware ASIO (Windows) or Core Audio (macOS) interface. This allows you to route up to 64x64 channels of uncompressed, bidirectional audio over a standard Local Area Network (LAN). Breakdown of Version 4.4.1.3 STANDALONE
