If you're using LE v7.0.x (Jarvis) it should be identical to OE. If you're using LE 8.0 alpha builds (Krypton) Kodi devs removed the overlay screen that shows codec and other bits of info. It wasn't a popular move and should be partially added back before Kryton release.
Excellent! I am using LE 8.0 so I'll just wait for the solution. I use the Raspberry/HiFiberry combo to drive a Dynaco VTA-70 tube amp. When I demo my system, everyone wants to see the bit depth and rate!
