Not being a gamer, the Beoplay Portal hadn't caught my interest. However, I've been interested in listening to music in Dolby Atmos -- especially the Abba "Voyage" album. I've been trying to understand how this could work, but all I can find about it on the internet is very confusing.
1. How do you get music in Dolby Atmos for the xbox? Is there a music store for Dolby Atmos files?
2. If you can't buy music in Dolby Atmos, are there streaming services for it on the xbox? It looks like Apple Music doesn't have an app for the xbox and Deezer uses a totally different 360 format.
3. Can the Portal be used with an iPhone or Apple TV to play Dolby Atmos music via the Apple Music streaming service?
I'd really rather buy B&O headphones for Dolby Atmos rather than Apple's AirPod Max, but I'm worried that the AirPod Max might be the only solution.

Im quite sure not.
This is what Apple says:
Supported songs automatically play in Dolby Atmos when you're listening with:
Livingroom: BL3, BL11, BV11-46 Kitchen: Beosound 1 GVA, Beocom 2 Bathroom: M3 Homeoffice: M3, Beocom 2 Library: Beosound Emerge, Beocom 6000 Bedroom: M5, Essence remote Travel: Beoplay E8 2.0, Beoplay EQ, Beoplay Earset

I think the Atmos capabilities in the Portal headset is more there for the gaming experience.
