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.

One of the big issues with i2s is that they do not have standard pin protocol. If you do go with the dds route you need to make sure the pin out matches the pin in. Singer actually has pin toggles to match the dac i2s inputs of different dac. Guess  the main thing to know even though hdmi and i2s are the same cables they are not the same inputs or outputs.
