Does it make any difference (quality-wise and input-delay-wise) if I use a DisplayPort to HDMI cable directly or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, followed by a regular HDMI cable?

    Edit: from the other answers, I’m probably wrong - maybe don’t trust this as correct

    I don’t think so - HDMI and Display Port actually carry their signals in the same way, so the adapter is basically just converting between two plug types without any smarts in the middle.

    In theory you could get an adapter that is badly made and adds some noise to the signal or something and forces the monitor to down-spec it’s signal but I’m not sure how likely that is to come across.
