In the ideal case, no difference should be there.
CD-audio content is specially coded, to be able to detect errors and recover damaged information. Decoding, error detection and recovery are performed inside the optical drive.
The drive can mark detected error location in the music stream via C2 flags. As far as the author knows, different implementations may be there.
