I'm not optimistic..... I've seen such "breakthroughs" in DSP come and go..... With no true tangible benefits. If anything, most of the tangible changes have been for the worse.
The other issue is that the mixes themselves have been so overprocessed, I'm not sure if an "end-to-end" technology could even fix or reverse it..... (I don't think the "end-to-end" applies to how the mixes themselves are created. But I could be wrong here.) If the technology does work, it might just make the overprocessing more apparent.
(I find overprocessed music to be less tolerable when played back at higher resolutions/higher fidelity. I think this in turn has fooled consumers into thinking MP3 is a technological advancement relative to CD.)
I think the only true breakthrough in the music industry would be a movement to get overprocessing out of music productions. No advanced record/playback technology will get off the ground if most of the music has excessive compression, Auto-Tune, or other processing that "optimizes" music for the mainstream pop/culture.
