The latest version should work. I use the Windows build of SoX 14.3.2 and it's fine.

Sure. Don't use WAV! SoX supports FLAC natively so, if you rip to FLAC in the first instance, the metadata will be preserved upon using SoX. Here's an example of how I go about it from the command prompt:
Code:
cd \Users\kerframil\Music\Temp
for %F in (*.flac) do sox "%F" "..\%F" deemph
In this case, the files that needed deemphasizing were within a subfolder named Temp, within my Music folder. The de-emphasized files are duly saved within the parent folder i.e. the "Music" folder itself.
NOTE: The above example assumes that sox.exe is in the system PATH. If it isn't then use the full pathname of the program based on wherever it is installed. For example:
Code:
for %F in (*.flac) do C:\sox-14-3-2\sox.exe "%F" "..\%F" deemph
