Will a Bluetooth dongle work from USB?

[porcipat]

not wiim related. but for ios users who want to bring aptx and even ldac to their headphones. that moment i listen to rachel podger with her album 'just biber' via iphone to fiio bt11 to b&w px7s3. the tiny dongle brings all the 'better' codecs and even ldac to ios devices with usb-c port.
no idea 'just biber' puns at justin bieber. if not i find it funny nevertheless.
