Thank you, that's very helpful.

I assume this also true for the BasicRX daughterboard?  (Doesn't do
downconversion, but does do analog multiplication to get I and Q?)

Neither.

Each daughterboard receiver does complex analog downconversion and
produces two resulting baseband signals, the in-phase (I) and quadrature
(Q) outputs.  Each of these is sampled by a separate ADC, and with up to
two receiver boards, this requires all four ADCs present.
