Residual Noise 950nVrms(A) typical(gain 20+6db, Fnotch=1kHz)
Residual distortions: @[email protected] 2nd/3rd <-150db/-150db
@1kHz@9Vrms 2nd/3rd <-150db/-160db
@[email protected] 2nd/3rd <-130db/-130db

Preamp inputs, just in case, have internal low-noise phantom power 48VDC+/-4V

The phantom power increasing the noise of the Preamp for 12nVrms(A) i.e. 130+12nV
Do not turn On that power without a mic connected, that may damage the device tied to the APU's preamp input! Please wait for at least 10s after the phantom power is Off, to safely plug/unplug anything to the Preamp input.

unbalanced up to 10Vrms, Zo = 47ohm
Frequency response: Notch: 5Hz-200+kHz Fnotch=1k
0db referred to 50Hz 1kHz -30db, 2kHz -0.5..-0.6db, 3kHz -0.2db

Important notes
Please, before you decide to buy Cosmos APU, make sure that you completely understand what is it. Analog Processing Unit is the first in its kind device on the market, hence, you need to understand do you really want:
a) to do the measurement of your DAC/AMP distortions@1kHz/10kHz at <-150/-130db harmonics level, or THD+N@1kHz down to -132db. In that case, you need the Notch part of Cosmos APU.
b) measuring your DAC/AMP DR/SNR with the residual APU's noise 130nVrms(A) with the Preamp of Cosmos APU.
c) to rip vinyl records with the Preamp of Cosmos APU + Cosmos ADC with built-in DSP RIAA EQing. Please, check Cosmos ADC page to find the CosmosAdc_v13_RIAA.hex.
d) to use a Pro condenser mic with 48V phantom power with the Preamp of Cosmos APU.

d) to use a Pro condenser mic with 48V phantom power with the Preamp of Cosmos APU.
Remember that the input voltage for the APU's Preamp should be <=3.5Vrms, and <=10Vrms for Notch. Overvoltage of inputs may damage the unit, as a result, usually, input 0603 10ohm resistors will be burned.
Often the 2nd harmonic(H2) APU performance strongly depends on the symmetry of your particular bench/setup, hence, it is a good idea to use a power-bank, USB ISO, or battery-powered laptop for the ADC after APU. Often, a symmetry-related issue would be noticed if H2 levels are different after changing the input polarity.
To avoid accidentally turning On the phantom-power and further damaging the DUT tied to the Preamp input, we placed the blocking red plastic bar into the 48V power switch. Please, take it out before working with a condenser mic. Never turn On the 48V power without a mic but if you did that, please do not insert the plug into the 3.5mm input jack at least 10s after 48V power is Off, or also, you can see the orange LED(48V auxiliary indication)D light inside of the jack, please wait for the light dimming down.

I feel fully enveloped in the work
Changed my work at home experience. I feel fully enveloped in the work. I don't use it for gaming so can't comment on that. But for laptop heavy work days, this is a great experience.

The monitor offers multiple connectivity options, including HDMI and VGA, allowing for easy connection to various devices. I appreciate the flexibility this provides, as I can connect my gaming console, PC, or other devices without any hassle.
One feature that I particularly value is the tilt adjustability. The ability to tilt the monitor allows me to find the perfect viewing angle for maximum comfort, reducing strain on my neck and eyes during long gaming or work sessions.
Another important aspect of this monitor is the eye care technology. The 1800R curvature and eye care features help reduce eye strain and fatigue, even during extended usage. This is a crucial consideration for me, as I spend a significant amount of time in front of the screen.
The sleek black design of the monitor adds a touch of elegance to my setup. It blends seamlessly with my gaming or office environment and enhances the overall aesthetics.
In terms of value for money, the KOORUI 27 Inch Curved Monitor is an excellent choice. It offers a combination of immersive visuals, smooth performance, and eye care features at an affordable price point.

Excent price / quality relation
I had some good expectations about this screen and they were accomplished. The quality is good, it has few modes in its configuration for eye saving or performance.

It's alright
Performs well on high graphics for gaming. My only complaint is that this has a lot of backlighting. The screen is very bright and not very saturated. I also don't like that you can't adjust the screen height. But other than that, a decent curved monitor.
