Either way, it depends on how you define “quality;” audiophiles, for example, will define “quality” differently than casual listeners.
But yes, I think FxSound can indeed make watching movies a more immersive, more intense, and more visceral experience.
Below are some tutorials to get you started, and you can download the program at fxsound.com .
All the info can be found in the Learning Center:

Here’s the tutorial on the Effects:

Here’s the tutorial on the Equalizer:

Here’s the tutorial on Presets:

Hope that helps you get started; if you have more questions, I’ll be happy to answer them as best as I can.
Kind regards,
