I have a Topping DX3pro+ which I send my flac files via bluetooth from Samsung S23Ultra. Would I have better sound if I use the c to usb? Any help would be appreciated

via bluetooth from Samsung S23Ultra
Using what BT codec?

Whilst LDAC is likely transparent audibility wise, it is still technically lossy compression.
Bluetooth 5.0 LDAC
Hi-Res Audio Wireless and LDAC are supported with a Qualcomm QCC5152 chip. Unlike other DACs that decode Bluetooth codecs with the Bluetooth chip, the DX3 Pro+ uses the ESS ES9038Q2M chip for decoding for even better performance.

The S23Ultra is using the newest Bluetooth CODECS I read. They are supposed to be very good. I use them with my Buds 2 Pro earbuds and it sounds fantastic. Otherwise if you are a purist the USB-C or USB will be technically better but not sure if you can hear that difference.
