Yes, but I don't have any equipment with HDMI-connectors, besides the
TV (and the frontend at the other end of the wire). I don't think I
have ever seen a dedicated DAC with HDMI input/passthrough - they
probably exists, I've just never come across them or had a need to
look for them.

I only think I've seen HDMI-connectors on integrated surround
receivers (..which are not allowed anywhere near my living room audio
set up ;)).
