One of the reasons for placing a compressor in the signal chain before hitting HD is that there is less quantisation error in the upper bits, and the compressor should bring up your level (as well as stop it hitting 0dBFS)
A limiter will help stop clipping.
Im not sure if you can place a compressor plug on an input channel.....I must check it out in SX
Also, like HC said, certain high end compressors add colour/character to signal.
