Hi, I’m a total newbie to diy audio and this is probably a very basic question.
I need to short a jumper on a DAC board but there are no pins on the jumper. Is it ok to put a blob of solder between the two terminals, or is there some other technique that should be used to short the jumper?
The background to this is....
I’m building a raspberry pi-based network streamer and DAC. I bought a ESS9038 board from eBay, which supports 2 power supplies, but I’m only going to use 1. The instructions from the seller are, “if you run on regulated DC voltage single 15V, you need short J6 on DAC”.
Photo attached with the jumper highlighted. Below is a link to the eBay item.

Use a solder blob if you require a short circuit and have no 402 type zero Ohm links.

It is definitely ok, if you will do that connection only once (or two-three times).Is it ok to put a blob of solder between the two terminals, or is there some other technique that should be used to short the jumper?
A special jumper is needed only if you will need to change it over time.
J6 on the photo definitely looks like it wants to be soldered by a big blob of solder.
