The answer is yes, they are homeomorphic.


Edit: Here's a better way to put the answer below:

Theorem (Klee, 1955). Let $K$ be a compact, convex and metrizable set in a locally convex space $E$. If $K$ is not contained in a finite-dimensional subspace of $E$ then $K$ is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube $[0,1]^\omega$.

This applies directly to the compact convex set $K = D^\omega$ in the metrizable space $E = \mathbb{R}^\omega$. This result is not explicitly stated this way in Klee's work [1], but it follows immediately from Theorem (1.2) of that paper. The proof idea is outlined a bit further down.


Original Answer:

Klee proved in 1955, based on a theorem due to Keller, the following remarkable result (Theorem (1.2) of reference [1] below):

Let $X$ be a separable normed space and let $E$ be either $X$ with the norm topology, $X$ with the weak topology or $X^\ast$ with the weak$^\ast$ topology. If $K$ is an infinite-dimensional compact convex subset of $E$ then $K$ is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube $[0,1]^\omega$.

The idea is that in each case one can find a countable family of continuous linear functionals $(f_n)$ separating the points of $K$ and, normalizing them appropriately, the map $x \mapsto (f_1(x),f_2(x),\ldots)$ gives a linear homeomorphism from $K$ onto an infinite-dimensional norm-compact convex subset of $\ell^2$. Keller had previously shown that all infinite-dimensional compact convex sets in $\ell^2$ are homeomorphic to $[0,1]^\omega$.

Since $D^\omega$ is a compact convex subset of $\ell^1 = (c_0)^\ast$, Klee's theorem applies. To finish up, note that the topology on $D^\omega$ viewed as a subset of $(c_0)^\ast$ and the topology induced from $\mathbb{R}^\omega$ coincide by the standard proof of Alaoglu's theorem.
