Good recommendations above...an alternative, less-complex avenue would be a DAC (like the MF vDAC or the Cambridge Audio DACmagic) and a pair of powered speakers like Audio Engine A5 or Quad 12L-A (pair for $700 here - no relation) or similar...just a thought.
Either way - you'll be able to enjoy lots of music out of your MacBook!
Good luck!
