Pre-eating allows you to maintain your social life and avoid going broke.

In Home Theater Audio gear: short for pre-processor. In simple terms, it's the 'brains' of a home theater system. Usually a preamp for home audio systems that has the D/A converters (digital signal processing) built in and distribute the analog audio to self powered pro speakers or block amps in high end systems. Example: Marantz AV8801. Units have HDMI or USB inputs that can process the complex digital signals (ex. DTS, Dolby, etc.) and output it in RCA or XLR (analog) formats.

Pre Amp - Source Selection, Audio Volume control, no amplification.

I bought an Onkyo PR-SC5509 pre-pro so I could play a bluray on my laptop, go HDMI directly from my laptop to Balanced XLR output to run my Mackie SA1532 professional loudspeakers, also run my Home Theater Receiver to get surround sound in my living room, and run another signal the outdoor speakers in the backyard as "zone 3". I was shocked when I fed the pre-pro with a 24bit, 96khz signal and as well as a DTS encoded bluray and it played it all perfectly.
