Also I‘m still trying to figure out if the DAC in the McIntosh C52 allows full MQA playback? (According to the signal it displays I would assume it does)...

Auralic recommends wireless for it specifically. Plug the rest into your router via ethernet. No need to get complex or worrying about what plugs into what.
C52 doesn't decode or render MQA.
Certainly don't limit your future DAC choices to MQA capable as Roon will do the most important first unfold for you.
