An app that displays bitrate / sample rate of audio?

[Lvivske]

Is there such thing as an app that displays the current playing sample rate / bitrate of audio that's playing on MacOS? Basically wish this was a feature in iStat Menu, because with the new Apple Music I'd like to be able to know what resolution the audio I'm listening to is currently processing at (ie, 41, 48 or 192hz)

Not being cheeky here, but you mean outside of clicking on the Lossless icon in the Music app?

yeah, outside of that thing i totally knew existed :x

it disappears if its not lossless, and its the same icon for lossless 44.1khz, and high red 24bit 192khz that you have to click to find out which it is

I'm looking for something that has a reading regardless, so if i know an audio source sucks

That would be hard, each app decode the audio to PCM and feed the PCM to core audio, so the system doesn't know what's the original format like.
But if it's only for Apple Music, probably is doable.
