You could use diamond view and write the output to a .tsv using the following command

diamond view --daa file.daa > file.tsv

If you don't have the headers in the .daa I believe the fields are in the following order but this is certainly worth checking

Query ID, Subject ID, Percentage of identical matches, Alignment length, Number of mismatches, Number of gap openings, Start of alignment in query, End of alignment in query, Start of alignment in subject, End of alignment in subject, Expected value, Bit score.
