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.

Try it! Have fun. But... it is not i2s.

I run hdmi from my 1100 to a Moon 390 hdmi in and get 176k from SACDs.

I like the sound. 

Good luck.
