CD is a digital medium. So if you have a CD with no C1 or C2 errors at all (which does not exist) and a CD with a moderate amount of C1 and even some C2, these errors are all corrected by the CD player's error correction and the same stream of ones and zeros is produced an sent to the player's DAC. So you get the exact same output. Only if you have CU errors (E32) on the disc (which you will usually never have if you use halfway decent burners and media), the player needs to interpolate, which will become noticable as distortion or clicks if it gets too much. Also, if the C1/C2 error rate gets too high (say, more than 300 per second. I think the official specs are 280 BLER for a disc to be considered readable), the CD player might have difficulty reading the disc and start skipping. Again, with good burner and media you get error rates which are a hundred or even a thousand times lower than 300, so no need to worry.
