Not quite the same thing but may be of interest ? The Bluetooth driver is clearly shown at the end of the video sitting on the horn inlet. The quality of the sound is good but the volume may be a little misleading as it is low in reality due to the small size of the Bluetooth speaker.

There is also a link to a video demonstrating the result of a similar Bluetooth speaker connected directly to the tonearm incorporating the shell of a Meltrope soundbox.

Interesting experiments, but yeah, not quite as simple as just placing the needle onto a device.
