I think they are decibels

The DR rating is a per-track measure of peak loudness minus average loudness in decibels. The min DR rating for the album is the DR rating of the lowest scoring track. The max DR rating is of the highest scoring track. And the average is the average of the DR ratings of the individual tracks.

The DR rating is kind of a simplistic measurement. A better dynamic range measure is R128, which is the difference between the 95th percentile loudness and 5th percentile loudness, also measured in decibels.
