Thank you very much for the insight! I'll give it a go and report back asapIf your project allows for it, I'd set up Resolve to use Resolve Color Management. I often set 'Color processing mode' to HDR, even if I 'output color space' is SDR.
Assign appropriate 'Input color space'.
Under DaVinci settings (not project settings), under General, check the box for 'use Mac display color profiles for viewers'. I also check the "gamma fix box" 'automatically tag Rec.709 scene clips as Rec.709-A'. This box has been added to combat the well-documented gamma shift issue due to missing/inconsistent video color tag handling across platforms and video players.
I will say that your images above comparing Resolve to Quicktime—it's certainly not the worst I have seen....
IINA tends to remember tweaks to the video settings between launches. Have you played with contrast/gamma in the app, or is it zeroed out?
I know, but if the color page and QuickTime looks 99% I'll be happy, added all just for reference. Thank you.No matter what you do, I don’t believe QuickTime, IINA player and IG will ever all look identical to each other or to the Resolve viewer.
Lens: Laowa 90mm Macro and light Aputure 300C Thank you!What lens and light and camera for the OG image? Looks great.
I'll definitely will have a look in all the references. Thank you!Read these:

"How to Deal with Levels: Full vs. Video"

Full Levels and Video Levels Explained! - The Post Process
Full levels and video levels for professionals explained! All you need to know about the difference between these two concepts for post production.www.thepostprocess.com
and I think both cover the issues and the solutions very well. This video also covers it:
Understanding color management is also helpful:
"Color Management for Video Editors"

The above articles will explain why things change on different displays, different playback engines, and the importance of calibration and color-managed outputs.
I generally try to export a second or two of SMPTE Bars at the head of the project, and I import the file back into Resolve to check it on scopes to verify all the levels are correct. Using calibrated displays is a must -- without that, you have no idea what you're looking at. We also accept that the basic picture is going to change a little bit on different devices, because that's life.
Are you referring to color or general overall image quality? Assuming you have things set for full debayer in Resolve, there's also a preference setting for playback performance that can affect the clarity of the image during playback. you can set this to off to play image with no optimization. Then on export make sure that it's set to highest quality debayer and scaling in the deliver pageAlso I have given up on Resolve looking good, it is user error, however on Premiere I never had this issue.
All I want is the footage to look like it does in RedcineX.
Why I need CST, nodes... ? I do the "RAW colorspace options" in preferences, set them to IPP2 etc, but still doesn't look anywhere near as good as red cine.
