Hi! I bought my dad a couple of ERA 100’s an a separate cd player for Christmas. His old Bose cd player had stopped working. I used the Sonos inline adapter to connect to the cd player using an aux cable. Sounds great on the songs, but in between each song or when you do anything with the cd player remote the era 100 makes a super annoying popping noise. I’ve tried calling the customer support but haven’t gotten any help. I’ve ordered a replacement inline adapter, a couple different cd players, and a ground loop noise isolated to try and trouble shoot this. Super frustrating trying to get something to work for my dad that was super simple with his old Bose stereo. Anyone else have this issue or suggestions?

popping noise using inline adapter on era 100
Don't have any experience there but I recall seeing something under turntables about auto-play sometimes causing issues when it detects silence and pauses. Maybe try turning it off if it is on.
Not related but may be worth doing. Rip the CD collection to a lossless format and set him up a Sonos music library so he can play the CDs from it and not have to shuffle disks around? Either from a computer file share or a simple single drive NAS, it is really handy. If you need less expensive Raspberry Pi can do the job easily.
