Is there such a thing as a bluetooth receiver w/ usb output?

I want to connect my phone to my Schiit Modi3 DAC. The coaxial and optical inputs are being used by other sources, and there is a Micro USB input left.
I was thinking of getting a micro USB to micro USB cable for use with my Android phone to the DAC to use the available micro USB input on the DAC.
Then I got thinking and wondering, is there is such a thing as a Bluetooth receiver to pair the phone to that has a USB output to take advantage of the Modi3's excellent sound.

You need an OTG cable, "On the Go".  These are under $10 on Amazon for Android phones.  Good luck with Apple...

I just bought one.  Much easier than buying another box.  Also, the signal quality should be better using a cable vs bluetooth.

I was going to get a 24" long or so micro USB to micro USB cable, but thought I'd see if Bluetooth receiver is available with USB output. You must think it's not available since you recommend a cable. I'll see if there are other responses before I order cable.

The problem I see is bluetooth is an analogue signal.  I'm not sure if that's viable???
