Wireless to my audio system ?


I would like to try using my Mac and streaming it to my audio system for music stations broadcasting on line. I have not looked into stream rates nor how this stuff gets from one place to another, verses sound. My question being... What products are out there, that DOES NOT cost an arm and a leg to get started to see if I even want to go this route. Currently I am using AR pre-amp and Krell amp. Thank you for any suggestions you folks may have.

Yep, Apple Airport express plugged into an AC outlet near your audio system will do the trick. You can go analog out of the AAE or you can go digital out of the AAE using mini-toslink cable and connect to a DAC in your system.
From what I am understanding thus far, the word DAC keeps popping up. I have Air Port on my IMac, but from their just a Rega CD player, pre-amp and my amp.I would think that their has to be something from the Air Port comm. to my pre amp with RCA jacks. Which must be the DAC that is mentioned.. Correct?

Family - when you say you have Air Port on you iMac are you referring to the Airport software that is installed on all Macs or do you mean you have an Airport Express wireless access point, which is an external device to which you stream data? And what do you mean by 'the Air Port comm.'?
I'm tech-challenged but was able to set up a system that I'm extremely happy with. Bought an Apple Time Capsule with 1T of memory for storage/router on which I've saved my 700 cd library using iTunes in lossless format. TC streams music to a Zardoz (French modified Airport Express) which I have wired into my pre downstairs in my listening room. Bought an iPod Touch to use as a remote. Still have my Arcam FMJ 27T cd player in my system, but not sure why. Once you get set up, you'll never want to go back to manually feeding your cd player!
