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.

Does that Sony BlueRay player have a coax output? If so, use that into your DAC. No such thing as "high definition" CD’s. Only Redbook and SACD.

I looked at the back. It has a digital coax plus a toslink optical output. Also two HDMI outputs - one marked "audio". I say use either coax or toslink into your DAC. 

That HDMI marked "audio" may be for a hi-rez audio signal from a streaming source. That player appears to be capable of streaming!
