if you have ndbw, is it possible for the cable to be adjusted, does it lose its pull force over time or anything like that

Why do you suspect you have a problem?

I read an article on dbw S4's that says that it has been calibrated so that it is not a linear progression....more throttle comes on early. I have noticed that the mid range on the throttle seems to be the most responsive, but I thought this was a combination of gearing and RPM level and torque band....any one hear anything about this?
