.daa
extension (Direct Access Archives) is a proprietary format by PowerISO, used commonly to archive large ISO files (ISO is a disk image format that you can burn to a disk using Nero or any other burner). DAA files format has features like compression, password protection, and splitting to multiple volumes.

Once you’ve downloaded and installed them, follow these easy steps:
You would now have the original files that were converted to DAA. If you need to make a disc of the files, follow the first step from above. Then download and install ImgBurn (freeware). Open ImgBurn and burn the ISO file to a disc to get a disc with all the contents of the original DAA file.
