You will have to tell us what the A/D and D/A times are for your Mytek or Forssell since I see no mention of this key spec in a quick look at their websites.

You will also have to tell us your sample rate and if you insist on being able to monitor through PT software and plugins or if a parallel 3rd party mixer is acceptable.

As far as possible A/D to AES to ProTools to AES to 3rd party D/A goes there are many possible configurations including HDX, HD Native and 3rd party. At 96kHz and 64buffer many of these can do ~2ms. For consistent less than this with no dependence on buffer you will need DSP which comes in many many forms.

Just to give one possible scenario
PT12 Vanilla
DiGiGrid IOC (16ch of AES in/out)
SoundGrid Server One (DSP engine)
Uses eMotion mixer or for just a few channels - StudioRack plugin in PT

0.8ms SoundGrid processing latency (at 44.1k or 96k) plus a a little for digital through the IOC (~0.2ms to 0.3ms) plus whatever your A/D D/A time is.
Thank you propower for your suggestions.
Waves DSP solution is an elegant one, but would make me limited to WAVES plugins...
In order to have 32 ch I/O I have now with my RME HDSPe I would have to buy 1 Server + 2 IOC yes?
