RE: SACD to HDMI to ??? to external DAC?

When you output via HDMI, does that not effectively bypass the internal sound circuitry of the player and you wind up hearing the DAC etc in your amp/receiver?
Does this mean that there is no point in spending big bucks on a player, or does it mean you should never use HDMI, but rely on analogue output unless you have a high end external DAC?
And for SACD, it sounds like you MUST go analogue out to hear them, again unless you have a highpriced DAC capable of decoding them
