How to convert data rj45 ethernet to HDMI I2S

[mooncrikit]

Greetings...My new, in transit DAC (no streamer) has an I2S (HDMI) input that I would like to experiment with as compared to its USB input. However, none of my ancillary equipment provide I2S (HDMI) output. Those include a GOLD NOTE DS10 streamer/dac/headphone amp which has zero digital outputs and a Baetis Prodigy 2 audio computer that does have HDMI outputs but those I assume are for video only as that is how I use it via video monitor.
My currently utilized audio set-up revolves around RJ45 ethernet converted to fiber then re-converted to RJ45 copper ethernet which inputs to my streamers RJ45 jack. Is there any type of converter that can convert the RJ45 ethernet data stream to HDMI I2S to then input to the I2S HDMI input on my new DAC? I looked at the Denafrips IRIS, Singxer SU-6 but these appear to work oppositely, converting I2S to RJ45 or USB...although I could be mistaken on that. Any ideas how to accomplish this connectivity??? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

It can output audio if you set up to do so. Of course, that will not be I2S.

If it would not be I2S, then why would I want to utilize it, Kal? Any other pertinent ideas will be greatly appreciated though...

This is all I can come up with and it is theoretical since I've not tried this or used the gadgets involved.

A gadget like this will convert HDMI (audio) to I2S (https://www.ebay.com/itm/3637974183...uid=AtyGMQufRia&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY). I suppose that if you connect the HDMI from your Baetis, it will send the video to your monitor and strip the audio to I2S to send out to the DAC using a standard pair of HDMI-RJ45 adapters (Monoprice). I cannot guarantee the the latter will properly convey that I2S audio to the DAC given the different pinouts for HDMI and I2S and the variations of pinouts for I2S itself.
