iPod Video 5th Gen — Wolfson DAC · 512GB · Restored by Hand
SKU: MOD-003
Restored by Hand in Tokyo, Japan.
This is not a refurbished iPod. It is a fully rebuilt instrument for people who still believe music deserves better.
At its heart is the Wolfson WM8758 DAC — the legendary chip Apple used only in the 5th and 5.5th generation iPod, prized by audiophiles for its warm, analog-like sound that no modern iPod or smartphone can reproduce. This is the last generation to carry it.
Specifications
- Storage: 512GB SSD (SanDisk) via iFlash-QUAD adapter
- Battery: 3000mAh (brand new, high capacity)
- DAC: Wolfson WM8758
- Housing: Brand-new case, hand-polished to a mirror finish
- Generation: iPod 5th Gen (Model A1136)
- Body: Thin (slim chassis) — fitted with a full 3000mAh battery (hand-optimized)
Every unit is disassembled, rebuilt, and polished by hand on my workbench in Tokyo. Each one is tested, numbered, and documented before it ships.
Built to last. Restored to be loved.
Worldwide shipping via FedEx, with tracking. Free shipping included.
Custom Storage Available
This unit ships with 512GB as standard. Want more? I can build it with up to 1TB using the iFlash-QUAD's multi-card capacity.
- 768GB: +$70
- 1TB: +$120
(Includes SSD cost and hand-assembly.)
Storage upgrades are made to order. Please contact me before purchase, and I'll prepare a dedicated unit built to your spec — by hand, in Tokyo.
Warranty & Returns
Each unit comes with a 1-year warranty covering functional
defects under normal use (playback, battery, storage).
As these are vintage devices (2005–2006), the LCD screen may
show natural signs of aging. This is not covered under warranty.
For warranty service, please contact me first. Return shipping
to Japan is the buyer's responsibility (you may use any carrier —
FedEx, EMS, etc.). I will cover the repair and return shipping
back to you.
Import duties or customs fees, if any, are the buyer's
responsibility and depend on your country.
