What Snoopy said.

HDMI and I2S are fundamentally different protocols so it wouldn't work anyway.

Note that HDMI has a 5V power pin, and depending on your DAC's implementation, feeding power to it might damage the DAC. I'm unsure what are the odds of this happening, but I wouldn't risk connecting.
