What's needed with my Macbook Pro to stream music like they do at HI-FI shows?


Ok, Everytime I read the show reports I always see the manufacturers using a MacBook Pro hooked-up to their system. No one uses dedicated streamers. So, my question is what Dacs, software, and cables (USB, optic, etc,) are they using. I have a krell amp and MartinLogan speakers. I am contemplating a ps audio dac with wireworld USB, and J. River software.
Any suggestions? All my music is ripped in Flac

Will this set-up sound first rate? I recently visited my local dealer and he was raving about the Sony Hap 1 music server. Is it worth the investment or will the Mac pro sound just as good?
I am looking at the PS Audio Nuwave as well, but recently the new PS Audio Dac DIrect Stream Jr. Looks really interesting. Which program works best for sound quaility? Not familiar with LPS?
