About D# augmented
The notes of D# augmented are D# (root), F## (major third) and A## (augmented fifth). In scale degrees above the root, the formula is 1 – 3 – #5. Its augmented fifth gives it a restless, mysterious sound, and because it is symmetrical the same chord repeats every four semitones.
D# augmented has no standard open shape in the CAGED system, so its 39 voicings are sorted only by difficulty and position on the neck. D# augmented is also written as Eb augmented: the same chord with the root spelled differently, and it sounds identical. The more common spelling is Eb augmented.
