Thanks. That was my thinking too. However, I have just looked at the
'Specs' for each and both say 0.9 Watts stand-by and 2.48 Watts in
operation. It seems very odd both are described as 1S and both have
the same power output, yet the Evoke supports DAB+ and the Tempus does
not. I wonder if DAB+ compatibility has just been omitted from the
description.

More likely they both use the new chipset, but the Tempus doesn't have the software for DAB+.

Manufacturers are often reluctant to support aac+ perhaps because they don't want to pay the licensing fees, even thought apparently they are only a matter of pennies. It's still worth their while however using the new chipset, they just don't program it for DAB+.
