It's your fault. Be sure your jpg are baseline. You can use imagemagick or jpegtran to check the encoding. jpegtran also can convert a progressive jpg to a baseline one losslessly. If you want the best quality also try to match any of this width sizes: 400, 600 or 800px.
Maybe I make it not good!. I tried gimb and changed the Picture! If jpegtran is a Programm I will test it! Thanks

This is how a cover art in 800x800 or 900x900 or greater looks like in full screen (Media Go)

Remove cover- removes the covert art, must hit save to save changes
Add cover add the cover from a picture file (for sony walkman makesure is BASELINE Jpeg) also hit save to embed it into each file.
Extract cover this is handy for extracting the cover from a download that does not include the "folder.jpg" and you cna save the embeded cover as a picture in your album folder.
Set cover type, to set what type of cover art it is f.e booklet, leaflet, artist picture, composer picture, album art jacket, here the important is Front cover

The other options i haven't used them up to now
I just use windows paint to convert to BASELINE, just open the art work using windows paint and save, it's converted.

So for me

Source DIRECT > 26H avg
DSEE HX (strings) > 18-20h avg
DSEE HX (Strings) + DC Phase Lienearizer (Type A LOW) > 12h 30m - 13h 40m avg

Thank you for the report.
What kind of music files did you play? Sampling rate is known to have some significant impact on battery consumption.
DSD consumes lots more than FLAC as well.
In my case with source DIRECT, it never reach 20 hours. But half of the time I play DSD 64/128.

Have Focal Utopias and JH Harvey Laylas. Going back and forth between AKUltima SP 1000 and WM1z. If I get the WM1Z, burn it in and still wish for more treble clarity and air (classical pianist and small jazz ensemble and vocal) and wish to try a wire mod, is there anyplace other than Singapore or HongKong to get that done? I'm in USA. Thanks for any guidance.

Yes there is a way to have it modded here in the US. Be advised it does void your factory warranty

I see. I’m also playing a mix but most of them are 24/96 and DSDs.
I hope that the battery in my unit is ok.

I never reach 20 hours with flac 16/44, source direct, 4.4 and battery saver ticked, closer to 15 hours, but that’s enough for one weeks use. Also I never tun it off.

I run mine for 8 hours average each day so every third day i charge it and i charge it when it has the flashing battery icon, maybe mine has a super-power battery in it :D, who knows, maybe one day it goes Poom! arghh i hope it never happens, i have seen battery incident at the office for real, smoking nasty

You should only turn the player off if you don't intend to use it for a long time, turning the player on and off will actual drain alot of the battery power, and reduces the battery life span.
