Yes, it does. I2S was designed to standarize audio transfer methods on very short distances between system components (chip-to-chip). It has a separate line running clock, so quality of the source clock determine the lowest possible jitter. Strange things happened that now I2S is also used to transfer digital audio between external devices. There are challenges on a longer connection, developers try different connectors/cables, there is no standard. It is why there are different sockets and even different (incompatible) wiring methods. Audio GD website highlight differences.Is not i2s technically supposed to be the lowest jitter transfer from a computer?
I wonder why Kingwa did not offer the ethernet i2s option and how it differs from HDMI?
One things is important to mention. Ethernet i2S is not Ethernet, it just use the same RJ45 socket and HDMI I2S connection is not HDMI, it is just HDMI socket.
