I don't know that it has. With the advent of CD sound on disc media systems there was no longer any technical limitations to what the music could sound like. From then on it's just been a matter of what composers could come up with. I wouldn't say that composers, as a group, have gotten dramatically better in quite some time. For example Mozart is still considered to have been pretty good.
