I don't understand

Valve amps are for audiophiles who appreciate a softer sound than that produced by a transistor amp.

I don't see how an amp made for appreciating the subtle qualities of analogue recordings (e.g. well kept vinyl) would be of any use for playing compressed digital sound. Surely all the audio nuance is well lost in the compression of the format. And for £300 - I don't get it.
