Yes, you can stream the stations audio from your i-mac via i-tunes wirelessly to an airport express (located anywhaere in your house) which is hooked up to your pre-amps input. Just select the airport once it is installed and recognized by i-tunes and you then select the proper input on your pre-amp and you are good to go. Not real difficult if I can do I am sure you can. Just follow the directions that comes with the airport.
The airport can either be your wireless network or can join an existing wireless network. Pretty neat device bought mine on e-bay for 70 usd. I use a monster cable that I picked up from radio shack to connect the airport to my pre-amp. Now I have many choices of classical stations. The Swiss Channel I mentioned is not on i-tunes so I use airfoil to stream it from my windows media player the the airport.
My airport is plugged into an outlet next to my system which is hooked up to my pre-amp's aux input. It works great and I get all kinds of stations (classical). The airport even has an optical out so I can use an external DAC if I choose as the DAC on the airport is not the best although it is fine for casual listening.
Hope this helps.
