If you want highest quality and you are in the the UK. BBC have decided
http/MP3 is  the backup service for old equipment. Highest quality is
delivered using DASH or HLS which need a plugin on LMS.
For highest quality AAC Live streams you need BBCiPlayer.  This requires
installing the plugin after adding the repos below to your LMS 
http://bpa-code.github.io/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml
The BBC Sounds plugin is new and is implementing BBC Sounds capability
but you need to register with BBC to use it. The BBC Soundsplugin does
nto need a special repos - it is under 3rd party plugins.
