I wonder what the popping was.

Same here. A popping with no damage could possibly have been the power supply starting up, then cutting out because of overload, then repeating. If it's a small PSU (because it is not powering the bed heater) then a hot end heater short might cause that without blowing the 15A fuse.
The PSU is actually overpowered (~500W) for the job is currently has. Originally, it was powering a 250W 24 bed heater as well as everything else. (It's a good meanwell PSU.)
I'm also extremely curious what the popping was, but I have no intention of trying to repeat it. I feel like I got lucky with no apparent damage, and I really don't want to test that luck.
From what I can remember, the popping noises weren't loud and very well could have been the PSU turning on/off. It was 5-6 pops over 2-3 seconds. To be completely honest, when it happened, my only concern was "kill power" and any curiosity came much later.
Since then, everything seems to have worked fine. I converted the duet3 to use a SBC, calibrated, printed multi-hour prints, etc.
