TCElectronics have some tech papers that gives a very good description of why digital clipping should be avoided at all cost. There is also a document by Orban that shows why digital clipping is also a horrible idea for stuff that will be played on the radio. It is simply an all over bad idea and everybody should stop it already.

I agree all of that. I know this papers and all about orban Hypercompression and almost all about loudness war. With respect to you
, the thing i'm looking for is a device like Lavry saturation on Gold models. It is not a teenager desire. Dan Lavry converters are very used on very end profesionals enviroments and it has a wonderful algorithm for that i'm calling Good Clipping, maybe my definition is not clear.
I usually get very loud masters only with Eq, comp, exp and Limiting,
(using it right...i think).
