A channel strip is basically a gate, eq, compressor, a low pass filter, and a high pass filter. Most DAW's will have those. They may not be all included in one device, but most DAW's will contain their own versions as individual devices.

Yeah but the question was
"May I know which DAWs have stocked Channel strip?"
and not
"May I know which DAWs SUCK and have stocked Channel strip?"
god but you're pathetic.
Yeah, if he behaves this way about a DAW he does not use, I do not want to know how he does about an ex-girlfriend. :roll:

A good few Boz plugins also include a Sonar Pro Channel version in the installer and a few Softube too

I used cakewalk as my main daw for many years through the x1-x3 period. There are things about cakewalk I’m not thrilled about in workflow, but when it comes to this particular thing, the cakewalk pro channel is the shiznit when it comes to included channel strips.

It has been mentioned before but Harrison Mixbus is built around the idea of a stock channel strip. The entire DAW is essentially the emulation of a mixing console.
Follow me on Youtube for videos on spatial and immersive audio production.

I found Cubase 10 has its own channel strip which is very handy especially when I build a tune in a quick way like a demo one to pass to my buddy for their casual listening. In this case, mixing/mastering no need to be perfect until I have more free time say weekend to sit down just for mixing/mastering.

And this is also a very strong reason that I will buy SSL 4000E from PA within this week as they are on sale. But I don't know the workflow/CPU utilization/memory usage of a "DIY" channel strip (all use stocked plugins within a DAW) is better than a third party channel strip or not. Of course, the result of the sound is subjective.
For the purpose you describe, just use whatever comes with the DAW you use. You mentioned Bitwig in your original post so I assume you are using it some of the time. You can make your own channel strip with Bitwig devices in a container. One advantage is that you do not need to open up any plugin window to edit. You can also make a few different configurations depending on use and save them as presets.

Regardless of which DAW you use, the included devices will be plenty good enough for quick demos. It's mainly a matter of workflow.
