is there no way of using the 210 for fully unwrapping MQA without having Meridian active speakers?
Does the 210 not have analogue outputs? If so, it's DAC will do the full unfold (though currently it needs an as yet unreleased firmware update to render Roon-decoded MQA). The *quality* of the DAC in the 210 is another question.
I'm actually finding it hard to give advice here. Your dealer is clearly not knowledgable enough to assist you whilst also happy to flog you expensive gear that you do not need.
What is your existing kit? And what do you want to achieve?
There are plenty of potentially cheaper solutions which do not involve the 210 and 218 (which both have their limitations).
