If you have used Digital Performer for any time, I think you know the answer to this. It does not have that same feature from Reaper. Reaper doesn’t have some features that Digital Performer has, either. I certainly don’t have time to go into a comparison of each DAW. I would say this though, that you should perhaps consider having some sort of safety limiter engaged when you mix down to catch the occasional overs.

OK thanks so you mean DP has some sort of safety limiter for this purpose . Can you kindly tell me how to add that?
Masterworks Limiter should be placed on the output Bus that feeds your mix track. Set max level to wherever you desire; -1.0dB is a good level that should avoid most, if not all, inter-sample overs.
You can also use the Limiter to tame peaks in your mix and thus bring the average level up a bit. Google "Audio Mastering".
