Did anyone ever make an amp for the iPod 5/5.5 that was either fitted to match its size and form factor? Everything I can find right now is usually too small and a few too big with most being sized comfortably for iPhones which makes sense.

RSA 's Intruder and ALOAudio's  RX-MK3-B+ footprint might fit your requirements.

JDS C5 is a good match for size of the iPod.  Great performance.  Additional benefits...good price (<$200) and great service.

If you include the volume control, the FiiO E12 is exactly the same height as the iPhone 5(S) and only a tiny bit wider (though it may be the same width as a 5(S) with a cover).
The E12 can suffer from some interference though.
