I'm going to be using 5 DS64 units on my layout to power Atlas solenoid switches on my turnouts as well as an Atlas turntable. I'm wondering if it's possible to power one of the DS64 units using a PS14 power adapter, then simply power the remaining units by daisy chaining the rest of the units together using the AX1 / AX2 terminals?

I'm using one PS14 per two DS64s on my modules. Just as long as you're not tryin to throw all your turnouts at the same time, i.e. routing choice. The Atlas solenoid turnouts are fine with it as you are only using the stored up energy for one pop at a time. Using the DS64 with stall machines means you will have a constant voltage going to the turnout to keep it tight against the rail head. To many stall motors on one PS12 will overheat it.
