sample rate, derived from the 2013 remastering overseen by original engineer Elliot Scheiner The Second Disc Technical Specifications Resolution:
The first 10 tracks are the standard album, featuring classics like "And It Stoned Me," "Moondance," "Crazy Love," and "Into the Mystic". Part 2: The "Alternate" Album (Outtakes & Sessions)
What makes the "Expanded" tag so valuable?
To appreciate this fully, you need a DAC capable of 88.2 kHz playback (most modern DACs are fine) and a revealing system—good headphones (e.g., Sennheiser HD600, Audeze LCD-2) or neutral studio monitors. On a phone with earbuds, you won’t hear the difference from a standard MP3. On a proper setup, it’s revelatory.
The remaining 11 tracks are unreleased material selected as the "best of" the Deluxe sessions: Van Morrison - Moondance (Expanded Edition)
That four-point difference is the difference between listening to music and feeling music. The 2013 version retains the whisper-to-a-scream dynamic. Van’s voice doesn't stay loud; it breathes.
You will find many high-res files at 96kHz or 192kHz. So why is significant?
