Is there anything available that does all the above?

I have a Mac Studio and I’m trying to optimize the Bluetooth output. I want to use Sony WH-1000XM5 and they use LDAC audio (a Sony thing).

Is there a Bluetooth transmitter that’ll connect to the computer via USB and give me better audio than the stock computer?

I define better as better sound and less delay (or have an adjustable delay to synch up audio / video).

I’m not interested in going back to wired.
 
Support for a codec like LDAC comes down to the OS and/or Drivers. In the case of LDAC, Apple just doesn't support it in MacOS. The only way to get around that would seem to be a Bluetooth enabled DAC with LDAC support.

Interested to see if anyone else has another options.

There are a couple of Bluetooth LDAC transmitters on Amazon. However, I have NO idea if those devices are supported by OSX.
