I second the recommendation of the iMic as a starter. it's dirt cheap.I used an iMic at the office until I replaced it with a used M-Audio Audiophile USB. Much better sound quality, although not nearly the gain with the Audiophile's USB's hardware volume control as there was with software volume control and the iMic.
At home, I use an AIrport Express into a Musical Fidelity X-DAC v.3. Since most of what I have on the MacBook is MP3/MP4/AAC at between 128 and 192 VBR, the DAC is overkill, truthfully, but it sounds marginally better than just the Airport Express over analog when I stream a CD from the MacBook. If you are using mostly lossy compression, even the analog out sounds pretty good on the Airport Express.
