A streaming board shouldn't have any sound. It's not doing analog conversion.

My theory, and likely others on this forum, is that integrating the streamer board can also have a positive effect on sound quality. It’s not a given though. Some here have argued that putting a mini computer inside such a small case would introduce interference. That’s a valid concern.
So here we are, all awaiting with baited breath, to find out whether the new streamer board introduces better or worse sound.
Time will tell.

I didn't use USB before and haven't tried it yet, but at least it is connected now for if I ever want to listen to a file off my computer.
I won't make any comment about sound quality since it has been away for 4 weeks and my aural memory is about a few seconds
It looks pristine again.

This info would be important.
So can we say that for SQ the following is true ?
250 < 250 pro < 250 pro with CI board
And this is valid for all inputs as the CI board has a superior clock that is also used for all other components now ?

Could some of the improvements have anything to do with me being told:
The Core Infinity board will effectively be the one to generate and distribute the purest clock signals, including the word clock. Those signals are then rerouted on the motherboard.
