Have a set of Klipsch 4.1's, running the new Auzentech Prelude 7.1

Not sure what dsps to set up, and in what order. Any help would be appreciated.

Currently running in KS mode, and the dsps are:
Convert stereo to 4 channels
Hard -6dB limiter
Convert 5.1 to stereo

 
Personally, I don't use them since I want to listen to the music as it was mixed - in 2-channel mode, but I understand that this is a matter of taste and some people want to use all their speakers all of the time. The only one I use is the resampler when using a Sound Blaster Live/Audigy card since those cards resample everything to 48khz (CDs/MP3s are 44.1khz), and I can get better results by having a plugin do the resampling to 48khz instead of the card. (I'm referring to pre-X-Fi cards so I don't know if they have the same behavior.)

Obviously you wouldn't want to use both the first and last DSP you listed since they would contradict each other. You would use the "convert stereo to 4 channels" if you want sound out of all speakers. Don't use "convert 5.1 to stereo" (you probably don't have any 5.1 music files anyway).

Also, the real draw of kernel streaming is to get bit-perfect playback over digital outputs by bypassing Windows' mixer, so no DSPs should be applied in that case.
