Nice of them to get back to me so fast.
'Dear Mike,
Thank you for contacting Cambridge Audio. Technically, with no DAC in it, the CXC is a 'quieter' digital source than the 651C but I wouldn't be prepared to bet on telling them apart blindfolded, especially as the Chord reclocks all inputs.
Regards
Ed Selley'
