Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection?


Hello Friends, I have a Sony Blu-Ray Player (UPB-X1100ES). It has a HDMI digital audio out meant for High Definition audio CDs. I was wondering, is this really a i2s connection? In other words, can I send an audio digital signal via a HDMI cable from my Blu-Ray player into my i2s connection on my DAC, have the DAC re-clock and reprocess the signal by my much better DAC then into my integrated without damaging anything? I scoured the web for the answer to no avail. Can any of you help? Thanks.

I have a Sony UBP-X1100ES,  and I tried the hdmi marked audio out, into my McIntosh MDA200 dac hdmi input, and got nothing. I used a SACD which played fine using the coax.

I guess it's only for  input from a TV , but i don't see why it shouldn't work.
