How do I stream radio to my system?

I currently stream my cd library (saved to an Apple Time Capsule using iTunes) to a Zardoz (a modified Airport Express) which is wired to my preamp. I love the sound and convenience. But now I've got Sirius/XM radio in my car, liking it alot, and thinking it would sound really nice coming thru my big rig. Can I access radio over the internet and stream it using the same hardware/software?

My dishnetwork account includes a couple dozen Sirius / XM feeds.
From the small dish box, optical to a DAC to stereo.
I use the regular remote....a Logitech.

iTunes has a bunch of radio presets and the ability to 'go to a URL'. I've used the presets to the stereo via AirportExpress but not yet the url system. The radio feeds from iTunes are mostly 128kb with many slower and a few up to 192kb.

So, just a regular feed, not to the highest standards, but certainly OK when I'm working around the house.
