Newfangled Saturate also uses ADAA iirc, but it's a spectral clipper so it will indeed be hard to match and very easily "re-EQs" your mix because of the spectral shaping.I have some reservations about the general plan here to mix into a clipper then change the clipper. Saturate is not a normal waveshaper and will be hard to "match"! Still, looking for a low-latency soft clipper is a reasonable ask...
Perhaps El Juan with input saturation enabled?
apShaper has a low-latency mode; I think this still uses ADAA so should be cleaner than most other low-latency clippers?
If you are running at 96k there may be enough headroom to use one of the many airwindows clippers/waveshapers that doesn't oversample.
airwindows NC-17 is TOO good sounding honestly xD every time I use it I want to push gain into it because of how fat it makes everything sound. It has a very smooth transfer curve so anything over 88.2khz should produce inaudible aliasing on a master. You can somewhat replicate the NC-17 using apShaper's "harmonic" module (drive the 2nd harmonic using the dynamics) with the benefit of ADAA, but you'll have to turn down the gain a bit afterwards to compensate for oversampling itself causing higher peaks (nc-17 or ClipSoftly don't have this problem)
