I believe satellite radio streams AAC 128.
Max. Average is lower.

It's become mundane to me now, but I remember when CDs first appeared, I was amazed by the silver rainbow reflections, the overkill packaging of longboxes and jewel cases, and the magical way the disk tray slid in out out of the player. I'm sure that once physical media is a thing of the past, people will be making a fetish of those things just like they do vinyl.

MP3 192 the one I listen to.
It it's a noticeable improvement over FM and most DAB+.
A weakness, that has more to do with mastering, is that the signal can be dynamically compressed and pushed into clipping almost indefinitely - the format doesn't care.

Death Magnetic: MusicRadar and Rolling Stone attribute a quote to the album's mastering engineer Ted Jensen in which he claims that "mixes were already brick-walled before they arrived" for mastering and cite a petition from fans to remix or remaster the album.
I don't know why they don't re-release it, but I don't really care about Metallica.
Austrian public broadcasting and private television stations adopted loudness based metering and leveling (based on EBU R-128) a few months ago. Now those loud commercials are played at a sane level and you can immediately hear the compressed, wimpy sound.
Same should be forced upon those "engineers".
As a provisional solution, every audio player (software or hardware) should have a loudness based ReplayGain function enabled by default. See foobar2000 for an EBU R-128 based ReplayGain scanner.
This also punishes those highly compressed tracks by reducing the volume. Again, all that's left is wimpy sound. It also makes side-by-side comparisons a lot fairer.
