Yes, with one caveat. The absolute definitive version remains the release supervised by Friedkin before his death in 2023. However, that version is not always "Dual Audio" out of the box and may lack the H.265 encode for easy storage.

No discussion of any DC version is complete without acknowledging the restored . In 1973, this scene was cut because the special effects weren’t seamless. For the 2000 remaster, Friedkin used CGI to remove the visible wires. In the Remastered Dual Audio H version, this scene benefits enormously:

Subtitles can sometimes distract from intense visual horror. Dual audio allows native speakers of other languages to absorb the terrifying dialogue naturally without taking their eyes off the screen.

The Exorcist has also been recognized as a landmark film by various organizations. In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

The remastered editions clean up the grain, stabilize the color palettes, and enhance the deep shadows of the iconic cinematography by Owen Roizman. The contrast between the cold, freezing bedroom of Regan and the harsh, bright desert of Iraq in the prologue becomes starker and more immersive.
