What I have read agrees with what Riley Casey said. I can just connect my computer's ethernet port to the amp and have my own network. This would require me to use Dante Virtual Soundcard. I think Virtual Soundcard has a volume control also.
Can I connect a Dante device directly to my computer?
Yes. Simply connect your Dante enabled devices to an Ethernet switch, using Cat5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable, and then connect your computer to the same switch. If you have only one Dante-enabled device to connect to your computer, you may eliminate the switch and simply connect the two with a Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable
Is it possible to make direct connections between Dante-enabled equipment?
Yes. Once routes are established with Dante Controller, a simple network of two Dante devices will work in a stand-alone fashion.
