That "A" note is NOT augmented. (It's not a #5). This is a Dominant 7th chord with a sharped 9th only.

(And yet even though it's LISTED as "D Augmented 9th," on the side it says Symbol: D7#9).
Yes - check my above post.
A #9 interval is an "augmented 9th" (strictly speaking); but that word should not be used in a chord name, because in chord names "augmented" is generally understood to mean a #5.
