Daisy Chaining Pro Display XDR

Hello,

I have a question regarding daisy chaning the XDR dispays. Is it possible to daisy chain them to a MBP 16"? So that only one cable is leaving the MBP.

Thanks in advance!

Studio Displays: Daisy-Chain Two of Single M2Max MB Pro Tbolt Port? Can I connect one 5K Studio Display to one of the Thunderbolt ports of my 16” M2-Max MacBook, and then connect a second such Studio Display to the first display — daisy-chain then, that is? That, and get at least 60Hz refresh rate on both monitors at full resolution, and full video performance in general? Similarly, can I subsequently plug USB-C peripherals into those two monitors? I recently realized that this MBP has well over 4 times the CPU compute power of my (slightly-old) Intel iMac! So I’m thinking about giving it a couple of extra monitors and let it entirely replace that system.

Mini DisplayPort - Thunderbolt 1 or 2 ? The below quest largely arrises because I'm looking to use the most relevant eternal storage for my MacBook Air's current hardware: 1] My MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012) started life with a Mini Displayport or is a A thunderbolt 1 port? 2] By virtue of OS updates, now Catalina ver 10.15.7- has the hardware now been changed so I now have a Thundebolt 2 port? 3] I have read elsewhere the Thunderbolt port can daisy-chain up to 6 other's- is that correct for my machine please? 4] at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207443 Support shows Thunderbolt and Mini DP cables and I'm assuming when daisy-chained in a serial fashion, the Mini DP cable is at the end of the chain or doesn't work like that? Best regards...

At the data rate required to support that display, daisy-chaining is not likely to be useful. That one 6K display takes essentially all the bandwidth.
