I just bought Cambridge CXN V2 a week ago for $699. So far, so very good. I did not use the internal DAC. I feed it to external RME ADI-2 DAC and into my Schiit Freya+. And into Parasound A21 with Magnepan LRS+  speakers and dual HSU sub.  
How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables?
I use power line adapter. Google it.  https://www.howtogeek.com/210895/how-to-easily-extend-your-home-network-with-powerline-networking/

I was happy with my system for 30 years; now I need a new amp...and more?
For your bugdget try Emotiva SS Amp, Schiit Aegir, Van Alstine, Bryston or Parasound. Presently, I have Schiit Freya+ paired with Parasound A21Amp and powering my Magnepan LRS+. I’m also using RME ADI-2 DAC.   
Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions
Go with separates for better sound than Integrated.   
Tubes or Solid State?
Schiit Freya + with 6SN7 tubes preamp.
