CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end

I have just finished my cost no object listening room, and set up my main 2-channel system. I finally decided to buy a tuner again (MR88), because I wanted to listen to our local smooth jazz station in the room. TWO FRICKIN WEEKS, then format change! NO more jazz in the area.

I was introduced to "Pandora" on the internet, and think its a great idea.

But, how do I get High Quality connection to my main stereo?

Internet provider is Roadrunner/Time Warner cable.

My tuner is the McIntosh MR88, and my pre-amp has single end connectors and balanced inputs.

Can I hard wire? Is that the best connection?

If you want to continue to use your tuner you can get a Whole House fm transmitter and connect it to the audio out on your computer or go from your computer to a DAC to the fm transmitter. I have had one for a few months and it works great. However as Kal said the limitation is the streaming source so it won't sound as good as a quality uncompressed fm signal.
