newbie ? on streaming internet audio to DAC

my fave radio station (KTRU, 91.7FM Rice Radio) streams audio on the web, in Real Audio format along w/ AAC+. i gather AAC+ is the superior format and would require WinAmp, which i can certainly find / buy.

question is how can i export the audio stream in a digital format to an external DAC in my main stereo? wireless is preferable, but not necessary.

will WinAmp allow me to export it in a digital stream that a DAC can understand?

i'm really so clueless on this that i don't even know what questions to ask. any guidance would be most welcome

Rhyno..yes Winamp works just fine with outboard DACs. Use Winamp as your primary internet radio player.There are so many options or ways to to do this it is mind boggling.
You can go SB3 or use a similar wireless device or you can go through a USB converter to DAC or USB DAC.
