Default stopping "pop" in new set up?

I have monitors with that 'feature' [mute for a while after turn-on] and a pop never makes it through.
Trouble is, the delay can be just long enough to be annoying. Do class D
amps have to warm up or something?


No, not to "warm up" like tubes, but it does take a second or so for all
the capacitors to charge and they don't all charge at the same rate.
There may be some low frequency instability that appears as a thump in
the output during that period while things stabilize.

If you're talking about the automatic standby feature, yeah, you can
miss a note or three before it decides that it's time to let the music
through. That could be annoying, so if it is, don't use auto-standby,
and turn your speakers on after you turn on whatever is feeding audio to
them, and before you start playing the music.
