I'm looking for a bluetooth transmitter that supports LDAC to support my wireless headphones in the office. Lots of DACs work as receivers but not transmitters. The M9 looks like I can connect it to my PC via USB and then use it as an external DAC and then send the audio via LDAC to my headphones. Has any one tried this or have an alternate device that can do this?

The Fiio BTA30 does have this functionality, sort of.

However it does not support LDAC from the USB input. If you send it a SPDIF signal it will use LDAC. Maybe pair it with cheap USB to SPDIF converter?

That's an idea! However, would the cheap converter not degrade the sound? Also, curious what the problem is with the USB port.

I assume not since it's all in the digital realm. Maybe you might see more jitter? Something like the D10s is about $100 and is a excellent unbalanced DAC and spits out SPDIF. I'll probably go this route. Send the SPDIF to the Fiio and send the RCA line out to some powered speakers.
The USB issue on the BTA30 is a design decision maybe by Fiio. They did not implement LDAC for USB as a cost cutting measure.

Probably not what you are looking for, but a Shanling M0 DAP will function as a USB DAC and transmit LDAC...
