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?

    I imagine it would depend on the adaptor. If it’s an “active” adaptor (ie, there is some processing done on the signal using a microprocessor), that introduces at least some lag.

    A “passive” adaptor or a (passive) cable should have no latency otherwise.

    In terms of quality, there shouldn’t be much difference if any, though it may depend on the particular adaptor you use.
