Whatever a .daa file is. Wikipedia tells me:

that this might be a disk image, but you say it's music?

Hmm, try playing it with mplayer or the like and usually if they can
play it, it tells you what kind of format it is. Or try to look at the
first few bytes of the file (with a hexeditor, e.g. khexedit). If it's
DAA followed by a few NULL bytes then it's an image format. If not, try
finding the fingerprint from this list:
