Yes, I would say the classic has a blacker background than the Lyr. attack, not sure.

Thanks Skylab, good review! Great to see that the Classic is selling for the same price as the Concerto did.
Nice to know, but the way I see it, the sound either has a totally black background (as far as the human ear can resolve), or not at all. There is no in between, regardless of how faint the hum/hiss/noise may be. If the difference is audible, one amp is not "blacker" or less black than the other, it's simply not dead silent at all (and the deal-breaker for stubborn people like me). And I love how Meier's amps can be used as a reference for testing silence
For me, an amp has to be dead silent. Why would one pursue "better" presentation for their desired music for it to be impeded by any additional hum, hiss, background noise of any description. It is a deal breaker for me as well.
Ok so would you prefer "closer to black"? As that's what I mean. There is no totally silent amp. It's just how close to that you get.
Thanks Rob for the reply. I think I may just have to try this new amp for myself!
Off topic, @RazorJack I will put up some brief (Meier, Schiit) x T1 comments in the next 2-4 days.
Per the Meier Classic web page, the gain in the low setting is -2dB not 4dB reported in the review.
I hope the -2dB is the correct number since I want to upgrade from an old Meier amp and don't need/want even 4dB of gain.
Anyone know if these are actually shipping yet ??

Has anybody done any A/B comparisons between the Concerto and the Classic?
Anyone try the classic + stagedac combo on the HD800s, wondering if they pair well, everyones talking about LCDs for some reason
