When a module says its inputs are DC Coupled, that means it can accept DC voltages (constant or slowly changing voltages) and pass them through unaltered. This is important if, for example, you want to use a VCA to control the amplitude of an envelope going through it: You would need one that was DC coupled, as an AC coupled input would try to remove the DC component of the signal (such as its sustain level) and return it to 0v.
