Real Neural Psychoacoustics

While Ozone relies on static digital limiters and brickwall clippers that squash acoustic dynamics, Capter's Real Neural Psychoacoustic Engine reconstructs continuous 3D soundstage depth, analog transformer harmonics, and open high-frequency air with zero phase distortion.
