No, it needs more.

This would need to be an active adapter because DP and HDMI don't use the same signaling. They are expensive and I expect that most (all?) don't support Atmos.

The higher the better ?
Should I set it to 30hz ?

Would 60hz with the adapter give me better quality and smoother playback ?
This is somewhat complicated and depends on the source frame rate. If you are using smooth motion the higher the better (I would say 60 Hz is the minimum for decent smooth motion) but even better than smooth motion is using a refresh rate that matches the source frame rate. This means that you need to tune your refresh rate so you never get dropped or repeated frames. This can be tricky but madVR has a custom resolution tool that helps tune the refresh rate.
