Denuvo has been quietly removed from Mass Effect: Andromeda after Patch 1.09, which was only believed to have improved stability, facial animations, and myriad bug fixes. There have supposedly been cases in the past where developers reinstated such DRM in a future patch, but EA has basically given up on the game and franchise...
We don’t know whether this was intentional or not. After all, we’ve seen developers rolling out patches without the inclusion of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech and then re-applying it via a new update. But anyway, right now, the 1.9 version of Mass Effect: Andromeda is not powered by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech (though the game is still protected by Origin). Mass Effect: Andromeda joins a number of games for which the developers/publishers have removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech once their games got cracked. These include Doom, Hitman, RiME, and Homefront: The Revolution.
