Dual-Chip PCIe Audio Upgrade

The GLOTRENDS ST113 adds a dedicated SSS1700 controller plus an ES9018K2M 32-bit DAC to a desktop PC through a single PCIe x1 slot. It delivers 7.1-channel analogue surround at up to 192 kHz and provides 3.5 mm microphone, headphone and speaker jacks alongside optical and coaxial S/PDIF outputs. A standard 9-pin front-panel header brings those connections to the chassis front for easier access.

Replacing Onboard Audio

This card targets users whose motherboard audio sounds noisy, lacks surround channels or cannot drive higher-impedance headphones cleanly. The jump is worthwhile when you need simultaneous analogue and digital outputs, front-panel convenience or measurable distortion reduction for critical listening. It will not satisfy buyers who require DSD playback or sample rates beyond 24-bit/96 kHz because the UAC 1.0 link caps transmission at 12 Mbps.

Check Your System First

Verify a free PCIe x1 slot and confirm your operating system supports UAC 1.0 plug-and-play; Windows, macOS and Linux are covered. Ensure the chassis has room for a low-profile bracket and that the 9-pin front-audio header matches your case wiring. No external power connector is needed, so the slot alone supplies the card.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot and case space does the ST113 need?

The ST113 uses a PCIe x1 slot and measures 18 cm long by 15 cm wide by 3 cm high, so check that your motherboard has a free x1 lane and the case can accommodate those dimensions.

How is the ST113 installed and which header do people miss?

Insert the card into a PCIe x1 slot, secure the bracket, then connect the 9-pin front-panel audio header to the motherboard; skipping that header leaves the front mic and headphone jacks dead.

What upkeep will the ST113 need later?

No moving parts or batteries are present; just keep the 3.5 mm MIC-IN, PH-OUT, SPK-OUT and SPDIF optical and coaxial ports dust-free and reseat the card if a future motherboard change causes detection issues.
