MQA Dac playing non MQA sources

First time post and trying to learn all I can.  Planning to buy a Dac soon along with a CD player.  It’s going to be connected to my McIntosh integrated amp. To the point.... if I buy a MQA Dac will everything else still play through it with no problem? If MQA is not needed can I choose to bypass it and still get quality sound?

Not all MQA is equal either. Lots of MQA files are 16/44 so basically CD/FLAC. Some are 24/96, some higher, and a *very* few go all the way to  24 bit / 352 kHz.
