On macOS, you do not need ASIO. Apple designed as a fundamental part of the operating system.

The DN-HC4500 is a "class compliant" device. This means macOS recognizes the controller and its 4-channel audio interface automatically upon connection.

The Denon DN-HC4500 was a flagship. Released in an era when DJing transitioned from vinyl crates to laptop bags, it was a tank. Two decks, an internal audio interface, and MIDI mapping that felt intuitive. But in the world of macOS—where operating system updates often break legacy software—the HC4500 has become a stubborn relic.

Because Core Audio is baked into the operating system kernel, it experiences fewer system crashes than third-party Windows drivers.

The HC4500 is not fully class-compliant for its advanced audio features. It needs a driver. If you are on macOS Big Sur or later, the old Denon drivers will likely fail.
