Can the 210 streamer be used as a USB to SPDIF convertor?

The specific use-case I am imagining would be a laptop, playing music encoded in MQA sourced from TIDAL, connected directly to the USB-A input on the 210. The 210 would then connect digitally via SPDIF to downstream Meridian components (pre-SL DSP speakers, pre-SL SSPs such as the G68, SL).

Would the 210 present the input stream from the USB connection on the SPDIF and SL output connections?

Would the 210 perform MQA unpacking and rendering (yes I know TIDAL can do the unpacking)?

Would that MQA be available on the SPDIF and SL outputs?

How would comms work if the downstream Meridian device was not SL-enabled?

Thanks
