Thanks for the insight.
Simply put, sending off your mix for mastering gives someone with a fresh set of ears to check the mix to see if anything in the mix could be changed to make it better, and also to enhance the sound (if need be) using sometimes any of the following processes:
EQ, compression, Noise Reduction, limiting, and even sometimes multiband compression.
