What is Sound Enhancer?

What is it? I'm a bit of an audiophile, and I prefer hearing music as it was on the CD (as the artist intended). I've played with Sound Enhancer and there's a diffirence (I can't say if it's good or bad), but what does it do? Is this some kind of equalizer setting, volume changer, or what? I'm not comfortable with a setting that claims to magically making things sound "better".

MacBook (Mid-Range), Mac OS X (10.4.8)

iTunes "enhances" the sound of your audio files by increasing the treble and bass response, depending on how you set the slider. Think of it kind of like the "Loudness" button found on an old home stereo system, but adjustable. If you move the slider toward the "high" end, iTunes boosts more of the equalization, meaning things will generally sound punchier and crisper. If you move it towards the "low" end, iTunes will decrease the same frequencies.
