yes but it is a bit... clinical, soul less. It's just a download, nothing tangible and bereft of any artistic expression or involvement in a visual sense. It's not for me but it can sound superb so I can't knock that.

That's all that matters. The only thing is he sound! All else is secondary, the looks, the convenience, the format, etc.
Why do you think reel to reel tape is still used, it's hardly about convenience.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I guess it depends on your definition of value.
Don't get me wrong, I like having physical things too (including media) but I 'play' cds, I rip them or buy the digital version of them.
Just because something is more convenient doesn't mean it's the easy way out, I've put a lot of thought, time, money and learning into getting my system where it is (not just plug and play).
Besides, what's wrong with the easy way, I'd rather send a text than carrier pigeon.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
