Now everything I know about capacitors would deny the idea of a
"digital capacitor" and it is only faintly clear to my why one would
have a "blue neon light" or a "built in relay" or a "digital display".

Anybody know what exactly this is and whether it actually has anything
to do with capacitors?

It's a very large capacitor; 1.5F (remember capacitors are usually measured in micro Farads).

The capacitor itself is not digital, I would guess that the word "digital" is used to suggest that the capacitor is of quality suitable for digital audio, or maybe to refer to the digital display.

I think these are bought by the type of people Lefty describes in the belief that the energy stored in the capacitor will improve the bass response of their stereo.
