Indeed they do, and if you only want if so you can look at it, either
one should be satisfactory. However, it seems that their internals are
quite different. Do you have a Sirius subscription? Based on Amazon
reviews, it appears that the SiriusXM Wi-Fi Sound Station ONLY works
with Sirius. Apparently, it does not have the same features as the Mondo
Elite, including the Chromecast capability, so it would not be a good
substitute for that device, despite its looks.



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.

Yet it costs less (assuming it is still available) ... which is why I
think it might be subsidised.

The one I found did not have the same design as the Mondo Elite but
perhaps there is a newer model that I missed.

The Sirius model is for SiriusXM only - perhaps why the price is lower
(maybe SiriusXM subsidise it).

I remember seeing this unit and dismissing it because it could not be
joined to a Squeezebox network.  Now, with "Chromecast built-in™", it
should be joinable using LMS "Chromecast bridge" plugin.

It is a remarkably similar industrial design.
