A switching power conversion system and a method for start-up pop minimization in an audio amplifier assembly are disclosed. The switching power conversion system comprises a forward path including a compensator, a switching power stage and a demodulation filter. The system further comprises a DC-servo and a pre-charging circuit and a sequence control unit configured for providing a start-up sequence where the compensator and DC-servo are correctly biased and a bootstrap capacitor within the switching power stage is charged before the switching power stage is started. Hereby, it is e.g. possible to minimize the audible start-up pop in audio amplifier assemblies.
