SACD vs DVD-A speaker set-up geometry

Is the layout geometry for DVA-A playback the same as SACD?

I am familiar with the industry standard layout specification for SACD speaker 5-same placement.

Is it the same for DVD-A surround? Or does that prescribe to say, a typical home theater (bipolar speaker) type location, or it's own specification.

Thanks from everyone who's responded. I just brought home a 6-ch. Emm Labs rig and find it everything but gimmiky. Two channel's great until one does surround correctly. Of course I'm listening to some wonderful artists on the Chesky label, and other well recorded in great acoustic spaces in DSD. The 'drums in the rear' stuff I resevre for folks who want to sit down and be 'impressed' from one or two songs with sounds flying around the room. Not very satisfying for long enjoyable listening sessions. In that regard I agree with the soundstage arguement.

Anyone come up with the answer to DVD-A placement? Seems I can't get a straight answer!
