HDMI to I2S to MiniDSP 2x8 Crossover

[krassyg]

I am building a 7.1 ch Surround Sound System based on the MiniDSP crossovers. Right now I am using 2x8 in a four way configuration. 2ch stereo sounds amazing, but I am trying to integrate an HTPC based surround system as well. Ideally, I would like to keep everything in digital domain prior to the MiniDSP. I was thinking of just getting this:
Cypress CLUX-11SA

Unfortunatelly, the I2S to SPDIF board is no longer available, but the the HDMI to 7.1 converter is. From the description of the page, I should be able to tap the I2S lines. Is it possible to just connect them to the I2S header of the MiniDSP 2x8 crosover?

I2S Cypress Clux

Chris,

maybe twistedpear has something you can use (if connecting directly to the minidsp is not possible).
See The S/PDIF Transceiver Module
I am very interested in your results. I have a similar problem.
