Looking at simple set-up for iMac to preamp


Hello all - Without a total degrade of soundI am looking for the simpliest format to listen to internet radio through my main system. System is simple - CD to integrated or to preamp w/tube monos to speakers. All connections are standard RCA. I am certainly willing to spend the bucks if needed but if it is only a particular cable, adapter, splitter or the like I hate to re-invent the wheel. As above I want to connect the iMac into the preamp. Can someone spell this out slowly for me?
Assistance much apprectaied.

3.5 mm phone plug to stereo RCA cable. You can get this from Radio Shack (no affiliation whatsoever). Plug the 3.5 mm plug (like a mini headphone plug) into the back of the Imac, plug the RCA plugs into pre-amp or integrated, adjust gain at the iMac to approximate the same volume as cd, and voila'. You could probably pay for a fancy interconnect if you've got money to burn ;)
