Another Audio Question (sonic studio and audio general) ?

hello,

I've been googling around so long and I just cannot find definite answer I'm looking for.

Question is, should I be using any sort of xonar u7 mkII soundcard software effects. I want precise audio and not distorted.. thus the question.

Bass Boost. Well is obvious, I turn it only on when I want to listen to more bass.
Voice Clarity/Compressor. No idea if i should enable them at all and if should to what percentage.

Reverb.. again, no idea if should touch it all.

AND BIGGEST effect/question. For Speakers is "Upmix" ... I like it when watching anime/movies or something as it uses my whole 5.1 setup. Downside of it is it focuses to center channel a lot and my logitech x-501 speakers center channel does not exactly sound that good. Thus upmix downside is yeah, too much focus on center which feels as quality loss.

Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
