Questions about D♯7

What notes are in a D♯7 chord?

A D♯7 chord contains the notes D#, A#, C#, G. It is built from the dominant 7th formula 1 - 3 - 5 - ♭7, with D# as the root.

Does the high position change how this chord functions?

Not harmonically — it is the same four notes wherever you play them. What changes is weight: a dominant voiced this far up sits above the bass rather than competing with it, so it works well in a band and can sound thin played alone. Lower voicings of the same chord carry more body.
