D links and i links are they compatible?


I am a fan of a technology that has fallen by the wayside known as i link.
This is basically a FireWire connection that carries audio and video fom source to the AVR or processor.
I used to have a Sony ES receiver coupled with their a Sony CD/SACD player (1000ES). Loved the link but otherwise hated the receiver. Currently using a Pioneer Elite non HDMI with an I link combined with the Pioneer Elite player (SACD/DVD-A, no Blu Ray). Again, I love the link but I want to add HDMI .
Denon 4806 AVR has a "d-link.". Will this be compatible with the ilink from the Pioneer player? Are d links and I links compatible with each other?

Thanks for your answer, Kg. I am using a Pioneer receiver now that doesn't have an HDMI. When I bought it I didn't realize that it lacked HDMI. i have not seen any Pioneer HDMI/ilink receiver available. It's possible that they are on offer, but it is hard to find out which models have ilink, as no one seems to care much about this.
